After 31 years as the athletic director at Utah, Chris Hill announced Monday that he will retire this spring.
No FBS athletic director has been in his or her current job longer than Hill, who was 37 years old when he took the job in 1987.
"Chris Hill leaves a tremendous legacy at the University of Utah," school president Ruth Watkins said in a statement. "Chris has embodied all the traits needed to build a successful program: a student advocate, a skilled negotiator, a solid administrator with a keen eye for talent, an excellent fundraiser and a passionate sports fan.
