Agreed, Luck would be a solid choice. Gene Smith too. I’m sure there’s got to be a lot of great options. The main thing I’ve learned is that they should avoid trying to find a former TV Exec and make sure the new Commissioner comes with great University AD experience (like Luck and Smith) since the real job is about leading the AD’s and conference on a day-to-day basis. Whoever they go with will have a big consulting firm to help him/her successfully navigate the TV contract negotiation stuff. But they need someone who will be super connected to the schools and who really understands the university athletics experience in order to work on their behalf to make things better.
