per Shama:
McKinley Boston will send a “letter of nomination” soon to University of Minnesota president Eric Kaler regarding the school’s vacant athletic director position. Boston, the former Gophers AD in the early 1990s, is promoting Sean Frazier for the opening at Minnesota that is being filled on an interim basis by Beth Goetz.
Frazier, who won’t speak publicly about athletic director openings at other schools, has impressed Boston over the years and the two men are friends. In an email to Sports Headliners Boston described Frazier as an individual who “should be a strong candidate” for the Gophers’ position. During a telephone conversation Boston said he expects to send his “letter of nomination” within the next several days.
Frazier, who came to Northern Illinois in 2013, has experience working with national groups including a past assignment as chair of the NCAA hockey committee. He also knows Jim Delany and might well have the Big Ten commissioner’s endorsement for athletic director vacancies at Illinois and Minnesota.
While Frazier isn’t talking about those two Big Ten positions, it’s believed Illinois has already contacted him, and the process to fill that job may be moving faster than at Minnesota where Kaler has indicated a spring hire is likely.
