I don't want this to get political - it's not why I'm bringing this up, but I seem to recall a few years ago there was interest from Condaleeza Rice in getting into some sports related role. That would be a interesting discussion given her credentials as well as the fact she is indeed a woman who would be coming into a league that has, through inaction, shown nothing but disdain and contempt for them. Supposedly she's a no nonsense leader that challenges peers - whether that's true or not with her specifically if the trait exists in the next commissioner, it is IMHO exactly what the position needs.
The corollary is the team that had the "players' coach" (even if it was only for certain players in the NFL commissioner's case) that had gotten lazy and satisfied taking advantage of the relaxed climate then (hopefully) getting a "disciplinarian".
Condoleezza Rice said specifically that her dream job would be NFL Commissioner. I bet everyone now wishes she had gotten that job.
