Ah, but he does have prior experience as a Deputy Director of Athletics at a small private school Power 5 member named Northwestern.
"Prior to Bradley, Reynolds served as Deputy Director of Athletics for Operations and Administration at Northwestern University and supervised all facets of planning, design and construction of athletic capital facilities projects, including the management and oversight of the $270-million Lakefront Athletics Complex, and was actively involved with the development staff in securing funding toward the completion of this project. Also, he oversaw the comprehensive renovation of the Rocky Miller Park Baseball Complex. In October of 2014, Reynolds managed to completion the $8.5 million renovation of the recreation facility, which is used for intramurals, club sports and the Northwestern student body. With particular emphasis on football and basketball, Reynolds hired and provided oversight for the first-ever staff member whose responsibility was to manage and enhance Northwestern Athletics’ Fan Experience."
Also Power 5 football schools like Notre Dame, Indiana, and Michigan State saw something in him. Maybe not so much of a huge jump after all.
None of this really matters as he just signed an extension to his contract at Bradley.
Too bad. I would take him in a heartbeat over the woman from UNLV.
