Yvonne, you're probably right about The Chron, but, if Anderson's quote in the WaPo story is to be believed, SOMEONE created this out of whole cloth, and The Chron was apparently too busy [or lazy] to fact-check it.

Anderson says:  “I haven’t talked to anybody from Stanford University about their athletics director position or any other position,” Anderson told the Post’s Jason Reid in a telephone interview. “I have not accepted another job. I have not talked to anyone about another job. This [report] is incorrect.”

He says he has not talked to ANYONE about another job.  I suppose he could be lying, of course, but it seems pretty clear to me, and apparently didn't take long for the WaPo writers to determine, that there was nothing to see here.
