Rick George, the athletic director at Colorado, is set to leave his position at the conclusion of the academic year. This announcement was made by the university on Thursday during the football team”s bye week.
George, who played a pivotal role in hiring head football coach Deion Sanders, will transition into an advisory role to the chancellor. Additionally, he will hold the title of director of athletics emeritus, where he will focus on fundraising efforts for the athletics department.
The decision marks a significant change for Colorado athletics, as George has been instrumental in shaping the program during his tenure. His leadership will be remembered for the strides made in both coaching hires and overall departmental growth.
