However, an AD oversees all of a Universities Sports.  Personally, I think McIntosh made mistakes with the football program, but other sports were still thriving or improved (Men's Hockey) while he was at the UW.Let's face it, NIL and the Transfer Portal has really altered the major sports in College.  I think when it comes to the Badger Football program, they got caught with their pants down when it comes to both of those changes. I also think that it is pretty obvious that the UW doesn't attract the big money that some other schools have been able to attract.  Until they do/can, not even the second coming of Barry Alverez is going to save the Football program.I hope fans give Eichorst some time to try and improve how things are being done, but they shouldn't just grade him on the success of the Football Team.
