Yurachek talks athletics in his first year, plans going forward

What a difference one year can make, and no one knows that more than Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Hunter Yurachek.

After a successful year, Yurachek sat down with The Cougar to reflect on his first year in the position, address questions regarding facilities and joining a Power 5 conference and to discuss what lies ahead for Houston athletics.

Yurachek was promoted to his role on April 28 of last year and took some time to fill us in on what his job entails.

“I oversee 17 sports programs, roughly 425 student-athletes, with an operating budget of 42 million dollars a year,” Yurachek said.
