It has been a long and arduous search for Northwestern’s next Athletic Director after it was announced in December 2020 that Jim Phillips was accepting a position as the new Commissioner of the ACC, but at long last a decision has been reached. At 2:11 pm CT on Sunday afternoon, Shannon Ryan of the Chicago Tribune followed up on her report from earlier in the day on Northwestern’s AD search by writing that the school is officially promoting Deputy Director of Athletics and External Affairs Mike Polisky to the position.
Update:
Northwestern President Morton Schapiro has chosen deputy AD Mike Polisky as the school's new athletic director, sources tell @sryantribune.
