Oregon director of athletics Rob Mullens was named one of the best in the business Wednesday.
Mullens, who celebrated 10 years with the Ducks in July, was named an Athletic Director of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. He was one of four honorees from the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Under the leadership of Mullens, UO athletics enjoyed unprecedented success in 2020. Oregon's football, men's basketball and women's basketball teams each won Pac-12 titles; in 2019-20, Oregon became just the second Power 5 program to win all three in the same academic year, and the football team repeated as Pac-12 champions in fall 2020.
