Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir is expected to resign from his position, sources told ESPN.

Muir is closing out his 13th year at the school, which during his tenure has seen more than 30 NCAA championships and eight Directors' Cups for overall athletic department excellence.

The move comes amid a transitional period for the Stanford athletic department. The school is completing its first season in the ACC, a move made amid the fracturing of the traditional Pac-12.

Stanford's marquee sports have struggled in recent seasons. The football program has lost nine games each of the past four seasons and has not played in a bowl since 2018 (they were bowl-eligible during the pandemic-disrupted 2020 season).
