In June 2015, SportsBusiness Journal ran a chart detailing the average tenure of the Division I ADs who were in office at the time. Here’s how each conference looks now, compared to our 2015 study. The two conferences with the longest current tenure — Metro Atlantic and Northeast — also held the same rankings in 2015. Similarly, the SWAC, WAC and American Athletic have the shortest average tenure, as they did two years ago. These are ranked by 2017 average tenure.
