Condoleezza Rice is the front-runner to replace embattled William Powers as the next president of the University of Texas, alumni sources say.

Rice, who was secretary of state under President George W. Bush, has been a professor at Stanford University since leaving public service.

Her dream job was NFL Commissioner, but it doesn’t look like Roger Goodell is going anywhere — despite the Ray Rice scandal and the recent focus on players’ brain injuries.

Gov. Rick Perry and the other Republicans who run the Lone Star State are forcing Powers out to get the university focused on preparing students for the real world.

Another candidate is Kay Bailey Hutchison, the popular Republican who quit the US Senate after she got married, adopted a baby and moved back to Texas.
