Lisa Love was 24 years old and in graduate school and then the career adviser asked her what she supposed to do with masters in educational administration.
I said I had liked to be an athletic director of a big-time school, big football school, big basketball school, Big Olympic sport school।" Love said. "He said, Women don't characteristically do that, and you don't have any position models. I said, 'I know, and I don't know if the glass ceiling is penetrable or not, but I'd love to have an opportunity to try my hand at it.
In 2005, at the age of 49 in Arizona State University hired Love as vice president for athletics, the highest ranking job in the department. Six years later she is one of just five women to occupy the top athletics directorial position at a Division I-A school.
Some believe the lack of women serving as athletic directors is about to change, with qualified women rising up the ranks.
