UW won’t hire deputy AD; Alvarez plans restructuring

Jamie Pollard, who was credited with creating a strong financial foundation in the University of Wisconsin athletic department as it moved into the 21st century, would have been a hard act to follow – but there will be no “next Jamie Pollard.”

Athletic director Barry Alvarez said Wednesday that he will not hire a new deputy AD, and is meeting today with representatives of the chancellor’s office and the athletic board to discuss the next step in the restructuring of his senior staff.
