UW Athletic Director Search Committee Includes Colts GM Ballard
The search includes former Badgers and business leaders as Wisconsin looks for a permanent replacement after Chris McIntosh left for a Big Ten post.
- On Tuesday, the University of Wisconsin announced a nine-person search committee and hired CSA Search and Consulting to find a replacement for former athletic director Chris McIntosh.
- Incoming Interim Chancellor Eric Wilcots is leading the process because outgoing Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin departs Saturday; McIntosh stepped down last month to accept a newly created Big Ten position as deputy commissioner for strategy.
- UW associate professor Lauren Bishop chairs the committee, which includes notable alumni Chris Ballard and Michael Finley. Bishop said the group will spend "the next several weeks seeking feedback from student-athletes, athletic department coaches and staff."
- Marcus Sedberry, interim athletic director, continues managing athletics during the search, with the university expecting a permanent successor in place by this summer.
- The incoming athletic director faces significant challenges: a football program coming off back-to-back losing seasons and a budget strained by rising costs and shrinking ticket revenue.
