-Oliver Luck - not sure having his son work for him (even if dotted line) is a great look, and he's not done all that much relevant to the new world order of college sports since leaving WVU IN 2014
-Ed McCaffrey
-Mike Montgomery (his chalk talk was great) - not sure a 77 year old would be my top pick given you'd like to think whoever is the new AD will be in the job ~10 years (assuming they are not a flop)
-Bob Bowlsby - he's currently 73 so would not be a top pick, see Mike Montgomery
-Tara Vanderveer - she reportedly retired partially due to not embracing the transfer portal and NIL so seems a poor match, and she's also on the old end of the list at 71, see Mike Montgomery
-John Lynch
-Ken Williams
I don't follow the work of non Stanford alums in sports management so I'm unable to mention anyone.
