Seems like Sarah B is the obvious choice. Experience at Missouri, RU, and Texas. Here is her impressive Bio from Texas:
In her role, Baumgartner provides supervision of head coaches, directors of operations and program administrators for all 20 sports. She is the liaison to all areas within the athletics department that interact and support sports programs and is responsible for monitoring student-athlete recruitment, experience, academic progress and welfare. She also is responsible for assisting each sports program with development and monitoring of budgets and approval of expenses.
In addition, she oversees equipment operations and serves as liaison to Nike. She is a member of the Vice President/Athletics Director's senior management team and assists with the department-wide strategic planning efforts.
Baumgartner previously served five years as deputy director of athletics at Rutgers University (2016-21), providing oversight of all revenue-generating and external departments while also working with Rutgers’ sports health, student-athlete services and human resources. She was involved in budgeting, capital projects/master planning, contract negotiations, donor solicitation strategy and stewardship. Baumgartner helped RU secure a landmark $10.5m naming rights partnership with SHI for the Rutgers football stadium.
She began her time at Rutgers in 2013 as senior associate athletics director/chief development officer, spearheading the department's development arm (R Fund) and launching the "R Big Ten Build" campaign, which raised more than $115m. She also was responsible for raising funds for several major capital improvements. The contributions to the campaign included the four largest gifts in Rutgers Athletics history, combining to exceed $26m, and was buoyed by the largest gift in program history – a $15m donation pledged by Gary and Barbara Rodkin to fund the Academic Success Center on RU’s Busch Campus. Other funded projects were the RWJBarnabas Health Athletic Performance Center, home for RU men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics and wrestling programs, the Marco Battaglia Practice Complex, the Fred Hill Baseball/Softball Training Complex, the Harriett and Bob Druskin Strength and Conditioning Center, the Ron and Joanna Garutti Strength and Conditioning Center and The Brown Family Football Locker Room.
Prior to Rutgers, Baumgartner spent seven years with Missouri Athletics as associate athletics director for development and men’s basketball sport administrator. The Tigers enjoyed unparalleled success during her tenure, both athletically and in donor growth.
At Missouri, Baumgartner supervised a 15-member staff that raised $84m toward Mizzou's “Going for Gold” campaign. The athletics annual fund (Tiger Scholarship Fund) increased donor membership by 60 percent and grew annual fund gifts by 40 percent during that time. She successfully developed and executed the fundraising plan to capitalize on Missouri's transition from the Big 12 Conference to the SEC, which saw record highs for donor membership and dollars raised at Mizzou.
Baumgartner is a member of the Women Leaders in College Sports board of directors and assists the WLCS Foundation Fund Committee to develop more resources.
She served as president of the National Association of Athletics Development Directors (NAADD) in 2019-20. NAADD is an organization that enhances the athletics development and fundraising profession by providing educational, ethical and networking support.
Additionally, she was a member of the NCAA Division I Women's Softball Committee from 2016-19.
A native of Wheaton, Ill., and a four-year letterwinner in softball at The University of Illinois, Baumgartner was an All-Big Ten Tournament and a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree. In 2004, she received a bachelor’s in business administration before earning her master's degree in sports administration from Illinois in 2005.
