The Pac-12 shuffle continues on Tuesday Now, this time it is Washington State athletic director Pat Chun leaving to become the new AD at Washington in a massive move, per Pete Thamel of ESPN. It is a six-year deal.
‘The University of Washington is finalizing a six-year deal to hire Pat Chun, the athletic director at rival Washington State, as the school’s new athletic director, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.’
Troy Dannen left Washington to become the new AD at Nebraska in another stunning turn of events, so Washington acted quickly to find the next man for the job.
Chun was at Ohio State for 15 years and now returns to the Big Ten Conference as the Huskies and others join in 2024. Oregon, UCLA, and USC are also leaving the Pac-12 to go to the Big Ten next season.
Chun also spent time at Florida Atlantic before going to Washington State.
