Have you met her? I'm telling you right now she is a disaster.


Heard her speak once. She did an off the record part, and she was fricking awesome. Still a bit crazy on her foreign policy but badass none the less.

The school was running a $20 million defecit when she got the job. She turned that into a $14 million surplus within two years. Seems pretty savvy.

Also, she's served on the board of directors for a number of major corporations - Hewlett Packard, Chevron, Charles Schwab, the Rand Corporation to name some.

She may be a good choice. But I kind of feel like this should be a man's job.

It would be badass to have a woman talking shite to Jim Delany though.

So you went to one of her "fireside chats" congratulations. If you ever actually meet the person you wouldn't be saying she's awesome.

One thing for sure she wouldn't take any shite from the NCAA or other conferences. I think she would do one helluva job.

The SEC just had two of the most forward thinking commissioners ever in college football and people are putting forth names of people who haven't made a dime for anyone. It is safe to say that no one mentioned is going to be hired. Slive's second in command, Greg Sankey, is going to take over. No need to even discuss it really.

Roy Kramer gave the world conference championship game. Slive gave the world super conferences and creating a channel by having ESPN foot the bill and send your institutions checks. Some groundbreaking stuff.

Also Penn Wagers. That is all.

If people want to get rid of the bammer bias why on Earth do they not replace the entire SEC staff? 13 votes to 1.

Probably right about Kramer, however, I wouldn't mind seeing Oliver Luck get a look.

She's from Bham. I've met her several times. She is smart, articulate, and extreme successful both personally and professionally. What exactly put you off by her? I'm guessing politics......

This is going to come as a surprise to some of you, but not everyone thinks the SEC is Utopia.
I'd bet Dr. Rice wouldn't leave PAC territory for the SEC if her life depended on it.
