The news broke last week that USC hired a temporary administrator (not an interim athletic director) to handle the athletic department. This move was accompanied by the hire of a transition team comprised of major power players in college sports.
We wrote about these moves last week:
“In order to replace Bohn’s working knowledge of the Big Ten and the vision Bohn had for USC’s move to a new conference, Folt has brought aboard a transition team of consultants: former Cal and Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour, former Duke chief financial officer Mitch Moser, and former Big 12 Commissioner Kevin Weiberg.
“These are all heavy hitters with ample high-level experience in college sports administration. You will note that the Barbour-Moser-Weiberg trio has connections to every Power Five conference other than the SEC: Barbour to the Pac-12 and Big Ten, Moser to the ACC, Weiberg to the Big 12.”
What does this mean for the timeline attached to the USC AD search? Consultant Tony Altimore explained midway through the most recent edition of Trojan Conquest Live, the USC YouTube show which airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, at The Voice of College Football.
Spoiler alert: This search might take a little more time than previously expected, but let Tony offer the fuller explanation below.
The next episode of Trojan Conquest Live airs on Sunday, June 4, at 8 Eastern and 5 Pacific. The special guest on this Sunday’s show will be USC legend Anthony Munoz. He joins co-hosts Tim Prangley and Rick Anaya for a one-hour conversation you won’t want to miss!
