The whole movement of creating the General Manager position is stupid, that's what an AD is. It's incredible how lazy and accountability avoidance Athletic Directors have become. AD's pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to search firms just so if a hire doesn't pan out, they can blame it on the search firm and not themselves.

AD's say they use search firms for background checks and because of their contacts, well guess what you're an AD it's your job to have those contacts and if you don't you shouldn't be an AD!
I also believe Cal and Stanford are going to come to regret joining the ACC because the effects the cross-county travel is going to have on performance. Unless the ACC creates a west coast division with more teams out there it's going to be very hard on those schools.
I get that Cal and Stanford were in a difficult position but if the Pac-12 had extended invitations to Rice, SMU, Air Force, Wyoming & Colorado State perhaps they could have held onto more conference members and gotten a decent media right deal.
