After more than 40 years with the University Athletic Association and 25 years as the Florida Gators Athletic Director Jeremy Foley will retire, effective October 1.
“I want to do what’s right for Florida,” Foley said in a release. “That’s why I have spent a lot of time thinking it through. And I want to make sure everyone understands this is my decision. I’m not sick; I’m not dissatisfied; I’m not getting pushed. It happens to all of us. The time comes.”
Foley has guided Florida one of the most successful athletic programs in the country, overseeing 27 national championships, with the most recent coming last week when the men’s track team extended Florida’s streak of seven consecutive years with at least one title won in a calendar year.
