University of Oregon extends athletic director Rob Mullens until 2033

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The University of Oregon announced on Monday that they have decided to keep athletic director Rob Mullens on through the 2032-33 year following one of the most successful eras in UO history, both athletically and academically.

After Mullens arrived in 2010, Oregon has seen one of the most dominant periods winning a total of 18 NCAA championships.

University of Oregon President Karl Schol noted that Mullins’ leadership has been a game-changer.

“His commitment to competitive excellence, academic achievement, and providing the best possible student-athlete experience embodies the very best of what it means to be a Duck,” Schol said.

Mullens also had to oversee Oregon’s transition from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten Conference. In their first year in the league, the Ducks took home a league-high of eight conference championships, a record for the most in a single academic year in school history. During his tenure, Oregon has produced over half of the Academic All-American honorees in all of UO history.

Mullens is the fourth-longest tenured athletic director among Power Four institutions.
