On Monday, Aug. 20, 2018, the athletic director(AD) for the University of Louisiana at Monroe, Nick Floyd citing a health issue, announced that he would be stepping down. Floyd’s departure, effective Sept. 4, creates an opening for the fourth athletic director since ULM president, Dr. Nick Bruno, began his tenure.
“Since this past winter, I have been dealing with a physical health issue that I believe can be more effectively addressed by cutting back my schedule and taking time to focus on getting well and feeling better,” Floyd said in a statement made by the university.
Floyd will stay on in an administrative position until the end of the calendar year.
