Former Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn steps down at USC
Nearly four years after he was hired in 2019, Mike Bohn has resigned from his position as USC’s athletic director, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In a statement made to the LA Times, the 62-year-old Bohn mentioned both health challenges and a desire to be more present with his family moving forward.
The unexpected news broke early Friday afternoon.
Bohn, a Boulder High School graduate, was Colorado’s AD from 2005-13, guiding the Buffs from the Big 12 to the Pac-12 late in his tenure. He has also held athletic director positions at Cincinnati, San Diego State and Idaho.
Just last summer, Bohn helped secure USC an invite to the Big Ten, which the Trojans will officially join in 2024. Bohn was also responsible for hiring current USC head football coach Lincoln Riley in November of 2021.
“After more than 40 years of college athletics leadership, it is the right time to step away from my position as Director of Athletics at the University of Southern California,” Bohn wrote in a statement to the LA Times. “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.”
