Beth Goetz named interim AD at University of Iowa.

Iowa has named Beth Goetz as interim athletic director, replacing Gary Barta, who will retire on August 1. Goetz, who currently serves as deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer, will hold the Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Director of Athletics Chair. She is the only woman serving as an athletics director among the 14 Big Ten institutions. A national search will not start until early 2024, which allows Goetz to run athletics through the football and basketball seasons.
