"We have no problem recommending a man, but the man we name has to provide leadership for the athletic department," she said. "If just I can't name anyone to that position."
Approximately 30 people have expressed interest in the job, Shenk said, but he declined to release any names of people interviewed and whether the committee had any specific requirements it is looking for in the new athletic director.
