Internal Struggles Hover Over Texas AD Search
AUSTIN (AP) - The University of Texas' search for a new athletic director comes at a rocky time for the school, which has been caught in a power struggle between campus President Bill Powers and the Board of Regents.
Powers has been fighting attempts by some regents to force him out and holds only a slim majority of support from a board that has shown a willingness to meddle in the school's football program.
Given that struggle, will the regents want to play a role in finding a leader for the nation's richest athletic program? And will Powers' fight for his own job scare off top candidates?
Powers says he'll lead the job search. He'll also consult with board Chairman Paul Foster and the board's athletic liaisons, regents Steve Hicks and Robert Stillwell.
