Rumor Alert - Bellotti to be next Duck AD

Back on November 26th, University of Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer fired UO athletic director Bill Moos. Moos was at the Oregon helm for 12 years. Per President Frohnmayer's request, Moos will continue serving as the athletic director until March 2007.

I haven't heard anything about the subject since, at least not officially.

Last week someone close to the program told me that Bellotti has been chosen to take over the post. Apparently, Bellotti is a bit worn out from head coaching, but wants to continue to be involved with the university.

Still, one has to wonder why the change was made. Apparently there are two schools of thought surrounding the decision.

Answer 1: Part of a preemptive strike to avoid sanctions for recruiting violations. Specifically in regards to Hairston and Porter's recruitment.

Answer 2: Bellotti is hugely popular with UO alums, and will embark on a gigantic fundraising campaign to bring their facilities up to par.

In either case, the Ducks are likely going to be hunting for a new HC.

Looking at the second order recruiting effect, any inconsistency at UO has got to help us.

- Perhaps we should have told Drew Davis that - Scout reporting he's gonig to be a duck.

And that's 200 words.

Interesting
Freaking Malik Hairston.  $till can't believe what happened with that ordeal.

Didn't follow their recruitment of Porter closely.

Honestly I don't blame Davis for going to Oregon. Oregon's offense is lot more dynamic, exciting, not to mention productive for WRs, than compared to what we go under Dorrell.

Can someone explain something to me
This is still along the lines of football coaches becoming ADs.  I know that Barry Alvarez is the AD at Wisconsin, but I see him all the time on Fox's BCS stuff and he's supposed to announce the Ohio State-Florida game.  Can someone explain how this is not a conflict of interest?  It just rubs me the wrong way.
