Last week the Huskies were the victim of losing their Athletic Director to a member of their future conference when Troy Dannen departed for Nebraska. Today, the Dawgs replace him by bringing in the AD from their past conference mates and in-state rivals as Pat Chun has been hired to a 6-year deal at Washington. ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported the news.
Chun has extensive experience in the Big Ten as an alum of Ohio State where he later worked in the athletics department for 15 years. There was an expectation that Chun would be a prime candidate for Ohio State when they filled their AD vacancy but instead the Buckeyes went with Texas A&M AD Ross Bjork.
