Rutgers Hoops Dir. of External Ops Tom Barrett is headed to Sacred Heart as an asst. coach. I’d expect there to be a lot of interest in filling this role.
Why?What exactly does the director of external operations do? If we are ever get some serious reform in college athletics the size of these football and basketball staffs need to be in play.

Why?
The post I replied to was looking at this in more general terms, all schools and teams, not just Rutgers. It seems that this position has real value. In general, you need to have these types of positions to provide an opportunity for future coaches to be developed.Don't know anything about this position and how critical it is.
But the frequent refrain is "the AD doesn't have the money to compete. We don't have the money to build the necessary facilities."
Well, like every other company - evaluate the department, prioritize expenses and initiatives, cut costs where available.
I doubt the Rutgers Athletic Department is the only department (in any company in the world) running at optimum efficiency.
