BERKELEY, Calif. -- Mike Williams will step down as athletic director at California when his current contract expires in May.
Williams told chancellor Carol Christ on Tuesday he will not seek a new contract to remain in his current position. Williams took over as interim athletic director from Sandy Barbour in July 2014, then was given a three-year contract the following May.
Williams, a former wrestler at Cal, said it was an honor to serve as AD.
"I believe we took some very important steps forward to best position Cal Athletics for the challenges that await on the road ahead," Williams said.
