ASU's Steve Patterson takes AD position at Texas

Arizona State now has an opening at athletic director. Worth noting that Norwood worked at Arizona State from 99-01. Just something to keep an eye on.

I hope he doesn't. He's changed the Program around down here. They actually have some discipline on this team now. He has a chance to play for the pac-12 title.

ASU has a roughly $63MM athletic budget vs. U of M at roughly $80MM.

ASU has 9 men's and 11 women's teams. U of M has 11 men's and 12 women's teams.

Doing the math, ASU averages $3.15MM / team, U of M averages $3.48MM.

Not sure what the draw would be. Just because he used to work there doesn't mean he's going to up and go back there. It's not like it was his alma mater...

For an AD; USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, and maybe Washington would be the only Pac-12 jobs that are a step up from the Big Ten.
