Condi Rice for Pac-10 Commissioner?

So here’s an intriguing name as a candidate to become the new commissioner of the Pac-10 Conference – former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Two sources said that she is on the list of candidates to replace Tom Hansen, having shown definite interest in the job. Indications are that she may not be the favorite, though it’s unclear who is. But a hire of Rice would obviously get a lot of attention for the conference. … Rice was provost at Stanford from 1993-99 – it was under her watch that the school hired Tyrone Willingham as football coach and the two have remained friends – so she knows the conference well, and it’s through some of those contacts that her interest in the Pac-10 commissioner’s job has apparently come about. Rice has said she was planning to return to Stanford to teach. – Seattle Times
