Is it fair to say that the adjuncts are on a pipeline to get administrative jobs if they want to stay in academia?

I don't think so. There is no pipeline for them. Nobody can make a career of working temp jobs for long hours and make 15K a year. These people need to switch careers. Professional managements don't hire from among the PhDs who were unsuccessful in their academic career.
No. The job is absolutely dead end as far as academia goes.
