Some Stanford affiliated names that come to mind: 
-Oliver Luck
-Ed McCaffrey
-Mike Montgomery (his chalk talk was great) 
-Bob Bowlsby
-Tara Vanderveer
-John Lynch
-Ken Williams

I don't follow the work of non Stanford alums in sports management so I'm unable to mention anyone.

IMO…. Rule 1 - Never give extra points to alums when considering candidates for positions of this magnitude.  Hire the best candidate regardless of where they earned their degree.  Stanford, Yale, Cal State (fill in the blank) or any other four year institution - it makes no difference.  It is the experience they acquired and the results they produced after their college years that matter.

I agree but wilners article says they're prioritizing Stanford experience. https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/24/f...anford-ad/

I read that as Wilner’s advice.
