After reading several articles several things jumped out at me:
1) One said that the 3 finalist were all from outside the sports industry.
2) One of the comments from an unnamed source "He had the largest Rolodex of anybody" with media contacts
3) He has experience in the NIL arena
4) When it comes time for the post season discussions he becomes an one of the most important voices in the room.
5) Does have a lot of experience in Professional sports and leagues

I laughedLive look at his introductory press conference
That said I don’t feel like we’d get a solid candidate like this if the candidate thought the conference was dead. We’d get some retread like Craig Thompson or Gordon Gee

Top candidates for the job all passed, so the presidents went outside the box and settled on an “execution guy” who can go get some stuff done. More of a front foot hire for sure, and will be far more aggressive with the conference’s positioning nationally.

It is a race for serious money run by those who do serious business. Yormark is a serious businessman.
