@n6 65 years old. Not 60. LOL

what happened to his retirement?

AD's job is not a job for inactive 60 years old who has personality of a wall

Good to see JD going back to finish his undergraduate degree

Nike was a sh-tshow before JD had to make any effort

Fortune 500 CEO to Athletic Director is quite the fall from grace.

Did Stanford not realize her nearly buried Nike because he doesn’t understand or appreciate sport?

@ae no stock price to go down but will bring down fine institution like Stanford to perpetual sh-t hole that cannot crawl out of

Get ready to dwell at the bottom of the ACC.

Esports only! Lfg!

Congratulations Stanford in scrapping the gutter to find the worst of all CEO’s. Good luck, Cardinal—you’ve just signed up for a masterclass in mediocrity!I’m

God Bless Stanford Athletics. The most winningest NCAA program.

By the time he is done. The program will be former image of self like Nike and Ebay.

I know what it takes to be an AD in big programs. I don't think that he has what it takes.

As a Stanford alum and a Nike alum… Crying :’)

Privilege still wins. Same problem at Nike.

RIP Stanford employees here comes mass layoffs every 2 years

Glad I’m not a Stanford fan or alum. Years of mediocrity ahead followed by a decade long recovery to fix the culture after John Don serves his milk toast.

quoted himself as being a servant leader... what a tool.

Stanford athletic department will now focus on selling software.

At least there is no stock price he can sink over there.

Damn it I thought he is going to Adi...but are you f*cking kidding me Stanford LOL you guys better start scouting his successor now, I mean literally NOW!!

It’s hilarious and sad how once someone checks a few boxes (Ivy League degree, CEO), no matter how bad they mess up they can continue to fail upwards in society.
