Faced with daunting college sports landscape, Bernard Muir set to resign as Stanford AD
Briefly

Stanford's athletic director Bernard Muir will resign after 13 years, navigating challenges including revenue declines in key sports. His resignation signals the athletic department's need for change, particularly as President Jonathan Levin makes shifts, such as appointing Andrew Luck to lead football. Muir's tenure saw limited success, including only one NCAA Tournament appearance for men's basketball. The successor must adapt to changes like name, image, and likeness policies and work closely with administration, coaches, and donors to revive Stanford's athletic programs, aiming for a candidate with prior Stanford experience.
"Bernard Muir's departure as Stanford's athletic director highlights the challenges the university faces in adapting to the rapidly evolving landscape of college sports, especially in football and men's basketball."
"As Stanford seeks a new athletic director, emphasis will be placed on candidates with prior experience at the university to ensure better alignment with its academic values and sports goals."
