Jennifer Cohen was preparing to move Washington athletics from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten. She will still move a college sports athletic program from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, but now she will do that in Los Angeles, not Seattle.
Cohen was named USC’s new athletic director on Monday, replacing Mike Bohn.
Ducks Wire’s Zachary Neel noted that “Cohen was the standing AD for the Washington Huskies since 2016 and is a current member of the College Football Playoff selection committee. The most notable success that Cohen has had at Washington is the hiring of football head coach Kalen DeBoer, who led the team to a 11-2 record in 2022.
“At USC, Cohen becomes the first female athletic director in school history.”
