\"BUTTERLY<\/p>

May 11, 2020 \u2013 As the coronavirus pandemic alters the way executive recruiters conduct business, collegiate athletics consultants College Sports Solutions (CSS) and Buffkin \/ Baker have teamed up to place Dan Butterly as commissioner of the Big West Conference. He will start on June 1 to transition alongside Dennis Farrell, who will officially step down one month later. Mr. Farrell is retiring after a 40-year career with the conference, including 28 years as commissioner.<\/p>

Jeff Schemmel, president of CSS, was lead consultant for the assignment, with assistance from Dan Walters of Buffkin \/ Baker. \u201cWe had to be innovative, thorough and detailed in our approach to all interviews,\u201d said Mr. Schemmel. \u201cWe knew we were blazing a new trail in Division I athletics while facing the circumstances brought about by COVID-19. The willingness of the search committee members and the CEOs to adapt to the Zoom format and participate in the same fashion as in person speaks highly of them.\u201d<\/p>
