Scott Polacek (Bleacher Report) — Mike Bohn resigned from his position as the USC athletic director Friday.
Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times shared his statement revealing as much, which said his focus will shift to “being present with my treasured family, addressing ongoing health challenges, and reflecting on how I can be impactful in the future” while also highlighting some of his accomplishments.
Bohn said it was “the right time to step away” following “more than 40 years of college athletics leadership. I have dedicated my life to serving student-athletes and advancing the enterprise of intercollegiate athletics. I will always be proud of leading the program out of the most tumultuous times in the history of the profession and at USC with a restored reputation and national milestone accomplishments. I led the process to join the Big 10 Conference, hired marquee Head Coaches, produced the highest graduation rate in school history and won numerous national and conference championships. As a former student-athlete myself, my purpose and identity are rooted in supporting young people as they pursue their athletic, academic, and personal goals. I have been fortunate to have had so many wonderful opportunities and met so many terrific people, and I depart wishing the very best to all with whom I worked and served. In moving on, it is important now that I focus on being present with my treasured family, addressing ongoing health challenges, and reflecting on how I can be impactful in the future.”
