DENVER (AP) --- Rick George, the athletic director at Colorado who hired
football coach Deion Sanders, is stepping away from his role at the end of the
academic year.
The university announced his decision Thursday with the football team on a bye
week. George plans to move into an advisory role to the chancellor and serve as
director of athletics emeritus. He will assist in revenue-generating
initiatives for the department.
George was brought on as Colorado's athletic director in July 2013. One of his
biggest moves was in December 2022 when he hired Sanders, who has revitalized a
downtrodden football program. George also oversaw the transition of the school
from the Pac-12 Conference back to the Big 12.
