  • New AD: Doing It the Right Way Brings Success Across the Campus and Beyond
    SPORTS >> New AD: Doing it the right way brings success across the campus and beyond By Kip Carlson | Photos by Hannah O’Leary One official summary of Oregon State University’s mission is that the institution “promotes economic, social, cultural and envi- ronmental progress for the people of Oregon, the nation and the world.” In the view of Todd Stansbury, who succeeded Bob De Carolis as head of OSU athletics on Aug. 1, the hundreds of students who don an assortment of shorts, singlets, pads, caps, helmets and the like to compete for the university each year are a big part of that. Stansbury, 54, knows plenty about the Beaver way of doing things; he was De Carolis’ top assistant for nine years starting in 2003-12. In a world where many view an athletic department’s mission as winning games and spreading its school’s brand, Stansbury sees things differently. “My goal for an athletic department is we become indispensable partners to the university, that we actually play an active role in helping the university fulfill its mission,” he said. “So my belief is that we’re not just a part of the marketing strategy … we’re part of the actual DNA of the institution.” 44 << OREGON STATER Running the university’s athletics program is a big job, but one new Vice President and Di- rector of Athletics Todd Stansbury approaches with the eagerness of a man who — in one way or another — has been training for this moment for most of his life. … that really changed the trajectory of my whole life,” Stansbury said.

    CAREER PATHS OF POWER FIVE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS: A SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS Grace E. Dickman A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science (Sport Administration) Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Jonathan A. Jensen Erianne Weight Andrew Beveridge © 2020 Grace E. Dickman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Grace E. Dickman: Career paths of power five athletic directors: A social network analysis (Under the direction of Jonathan A. Jensen) The purpose of this study is to explore the career paths of Division I Power Five athletic directors. Using social network analysis, this research builds a network of institutions of higher learning that are connected by career position changes of current Power Five athletic directors. The goals of the study are to investigate whether there are patterns in career paths, and if certain institutions are hubs and authorities for athletic directors. The research suggested that patterns in career paths have changed for athletic directors, and paths differ based on gender. The hubs in the network propelled athletic directors into high ranking positions at their next institution, and authorities hired athletic directors in high positions. Influencers did not have a high volume of hires or athletic directors leaving for other jobs, but when they did, it was usually either at the senior associate athletic director level or athletic director level. iii TABLE OF

Jensen University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Erianne Weight University North Carolina – Chapel Hill ________________________________________________________ The purpose of this study is to explore the career paths of Division I Power Five athletic directors (ADs). More specifically, research questions include determining how many jobs it takes to become a Power Five AD, what the most common paths are to reach the Power Five AD position, quantifying the movements between institutions, and isolating the role that the institution plays in the hiring network. Using social network analysis (SNA), this research builds a network of institutions of higher learning that are connected by career position changes of current Power Five ADs. The goals of the study are to investigate whether there are patterns in career paths, and if certain institutions are hubs and authorities – schools that produce or hire candidates – for ADs. Results suggest that patterns in career paths have changed for ADs, and paths differ based on gender. The hubs in the network propelled ADs into high-ranking positions at their next institution, and authorities hired ADs in high positions. Influencers did not have a high volume of hires or ADs leaving for other jobs, but when they did, it was usually either at the senior associate AD level or AD level.
