C-USA could have first female commish

[Coach Andy Mac]

In spite of the progress women have made in athletics under Title IX, the halls of power in the nation's elite college conferences remain very much a man's world.

None of the 10 Football Bowl Subdivision conferences has been led by a woman. Atlantic 10 commissioner Bernadette McGlade is one of only a handful of women entrusted with running an athletic league at any level.

But with Conference USA commissioner Britton Banowsky announcing he will step down this fall, a woman could be poised to break the FBS glass ceiling. Banowsky all but endorsed Judy MacLeod, the league's associate executive commissioner and chief operating officer, during the conference's football media day Wednesday.

"She's absolutely prepared," he said. "She's so well respected in the industry. We've been blessed to have her leadership.

"She runs the show. She's extremely capable, so she has my full support."

sounds like a good idea to me. After all our program gets it's ass kicked by a program led by a woman

Is she Karl Benson?  No?  Then I fully endorse her.

Anything that gives CUSA positive publicity is a good thing.  Hopefully, she has a fire in her to fight with those P5 guys.

Can she do the job? If so, fine, but let's not just hire her to make publicity.

If the person gets the job done and is qualified, then great! Sex, race, creed are no matter. We are one and everyone should act as such.
