Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:41:42 GMT

In what could be viewed as an act of Big Ten-on-Big Ten violence, USC’s next athletic director is Washington’s current athletic director.Jen Cohen is leaving the Huskies after seven years to take charge of their West Coast rival, a surprising move that nonetheless makes sense for both USC and Cohen.The search for her replacement likely will take weeks, if not months, and it will undoubtedly start with Chris Petersen, the highly-respected former UW football coach.To be clear: We’re deeply skeptical of Petersen’s desire to plunge into the daily grind of running an athletic department.After all, he stepped down as coach after the 2019 season, in part, because of frustrations over the direction of college football. Four years later, the sport’s trajectory hasn’t changed — if anything, it has drifted further from Petersen’s ideal. As head of the department, he would be immersed in the unseemly side.That said, Petersen would be an invaluable...
