"What could possibly be wrong?"
It seems there would be numerous candidates to a far better job at far less expense.
Condolezza Rice comes to mind...
Just watching it wither and die with Goodell at the helm, is far better. Just think of all the “goodness” that would come from the NFL going out of business.
1. Colleges and universities could cut their athletic departments and the exorbitant pay that these non-academics who run them get.
2. We could start the process of unwinding all the municipal debt that’s been incurred building stadiums.
3. The TV sports revenue would be severely cut ( it could be gone if we got rid of the NBA and MLB at the same time) and cause a wholesale restructuring of their networks businesses.
4. Millions of overweight beer drinking slobs would find time to spend with their families and to do the things that normal people do around the house.
5. Minority utes, would have to search for more worthy role models, and maybe end up going to college to learn something of value.
I don’t think Condi wants to push for the job.
She may have had enough with people hating her because she was part of the Bush White House. Condi may be reluctant to jump back into that noisy Snake Pit of the media.
I hope I’m wrong. Her being given that appointment would be a real sea change and would attract a tremendous amount of attention.
This may be a somewhat thankless job that very few would willingly take, because no matter what side you favor, there is always going to be someone who hates your guts with a passion.

I think Goodell would be perfectly happy with that PLUS his severance. Who wants to live and work with a migraine that repeats EVERY week?
I was thinking the same think....she'd probably do it better and for less.
Condoleeza Rice would be only slightly better than Susan Rice.
Making Dr. Rice the NFL Commissioner would go a long way in mending fences with their viewers.
