I sat down with Michele Kang in LA for a while because I wanted to know: why double down with her U.S. Soccer investment? And what’s next? @theathleticfc.bsky.social

Supervision of football is a key experience search committees and search firms often look for when hiring an athletic director, yet only 14% of #NCAA Division 1 football teams have a woman as a sport supervisor. #CollegeSport #WomenLead #WomeninSport

Supervision of revenue-generating teams, particularly in football and men's basketball, is crucial for athletic administrators aspiring to secure the AD chair. Although women oversee 41% of revenue-generating teams, their focus is primarily on women's basketball and volleyball (80%).

Sport supervision is a key experience for intercollegiate athletic administrators seeking advancement. Based on data from @thepipelineproject.bsky.social, women are underrepresented in these roles which could impact their opportunities for advancement.
