Out of the blue, Notre Dame
athletics director Kevin White,
57, resigns after eight years with
the Fighting Irish to take the
same post at Duke University,
which AD Joe Avella had left to
move to LSU.
An unpaid consultant to help
Duke fill the position, White
becomes the top candidate
during a May 28 advisory
meeting in New York with Duke
president Richard Broadhead
and search committee chair
Roy Bostock.
Notre Dame deputy athletics
director Missy Conboy is named
interim athletics director while
the school begins its search for
a successor.
