In a press release, UK President Eli Capilouto announced that Barnhart will serve as the first executive-in-residence of the UK Sport and Workforce Initiative. The details on that project are scarce — Capilouto only first mentioned it during a recent Board of Trustees meeting — but the search for Barnhart’s successor will soon be underway, with Capilouto conducting a “listening tour” to determine the best path forward for UK Athletics.
“Over the next several weeks, as I have done before during a hiring process, I will conduct a listening tour. I will talk to people at UK and elsewhere about how we move forward."
“Mitch often speaks of the idea that our goal at UK is for student-athletes to place championship rings on their fingers and diplomas in their hands."
“Those aren’t mere words. They are aspirations that he continually has helped our program, our people and our students meet.”
“College athletics is undergoing a dramatic series of changes. We need people – from sports administration, to marketing, from philanthropy to academic support and mental and physical health – ready for leadership."
Thoughts?
I hope he hires someone OUTSIDE of Mitch's sphere of influence. I doubt it =\
