Susquehanna University (Selinsgrove, PA) is hiring its next Director of Athletics to lead the River Hawks, and I think D1 and D2 administrators should give this Division 3 job a serious look. If you got into this business to develop young people, and the job has turned into revenue sharing, collectives, and managing the portal, this video and job might be for you.

In this video, I cover:

• The reach of the role: about 600 student-athletes (roughly 30 percent of the student body), 23 NCAA sports, and additional club teams
• Landmark Conference geography that is great for students and lets you see more of your teams compete in person as the AD (6 of other 9 schools w/in 2 hour drive – furthest drive is 3 hrs)
• What DIII community feels like, and why Susquehanna has it
• The Selinsgrove location: About three hours from Philadelphia, DC, Baltimore, and New York
• Why the AD here gets to be a visible community leader with a real chance to serve

Hear from the president: I’ve included a short message from Susquehanna President Jonathan Green, recorded specifically for candidates. You’ll hear more about the university and get a look at its athletic facilities and campus.

Key dates:
Priority application deadline: Monday, November 23, 2026
Anticipated start: Early 2027
