LOS ANGELES -- University of Southern California athletic director Pat Haden will retire on June 30, it was announced Friday.
USC president Max Nikias, who made the announcement Friday, said Haden will start a one-year job guiding the renovation of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after he retires.
Haden has run the athletic department for 5 1/2 years, leading the Trojans through a multiyear stretch of NCAA sanctions against its vaunted football program. He created a large NCAA compliance program and improved graduation rates and grade point averages across the athletic department.
