The football program at UK, and probably most schools, is almost as large as all the other athletic programs put together. It would seem obvious that the football program should have it's on Athletic Director, seperate from the other programs. Now with NIL it's even more important that UK, in my opinion, should have such a person. It would be a great help to have a football AD whose entire focus was on coaches and their contracts, NIL funding and decisions regarding payments to athletes, marketing, football facility needs, etc. I don't believe any restrictions against doing this exist - so why not? A football AD position would be much more aware of the needs of that program and what should be expected from it and hold coaches accountable to it! Where will the money come from for the position - the money he raises for the program and SEC funding.
