A few things that jump out after reading as much of Heather Lyke's bio as I could in the last half-hour:
- She hired 10 head coaches in three years.
- She set records for fundraising at EMU (2016 was the most cash received and the most donors in school history).
- She oversaw a whole bunch of facilities upgrades across all sports and dedicated a lot of time to making the football stadium more appealing for fans.
- She has relationships with adidas.
EDIT: She has a relationship with adidas, but I think Pitt is locked in with Nike for awhile.
- She spent 15 years in the Ohio State Athletic Department; not a bad place to learn your trade.
