According to the Baltimore Sun, Michael Lipitz is one of four candidates to be the next Maryland AD. The others are Nathan Batt (Air Force AD), J Batt (Georgia Tech AD), and Joe LaBue (former Charlotte FC president).
Would be very frustrating to lose him within the first year of his tenure before he had time to really achieve anything.

He’d go from AD to A-H if he were to leave after barely a year. Sorry. Bad look.

According to Pete Thamel on Twitter, Maryland is actually starting the search this week and no candidates have been reached out to or even identified. Why it's taken this long to begin a process that should have began a month ago or what they have been doing for the last few weeks is beyond me but indicates a hire isn't imminent

This is fake news. Similar to coaching searches, this is probably someone affiliated with Lipitz (agent) throwing his name out there with no corroboration by the Sun.
If true (hiring an AD who hasn't accomplished anything at GW because he's been here less than a year) MD is in worst shape than I thought.

I strongly disagree with that statement. No AD in GW´s 200+ year history has overseen taking the men´s basketball team to The Crown.
Agree this is probably hot air, but if anyone in Lipitz´s orbit is behind the rumour it would be very bad form.

I stand corrected Alum.
Lipitz was at the helm for our spectacular play in the Crown game and lets not forget he was at the helm during our OOC run to begin the season!
He would be a great addition to MD. CC better worry about how his replacement will feel about the D-3 teams we schedule to bolster up our record!
