Mike Bohn, the USC athletic director, has resigned from his position, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Bohn, who became the Trojans athletic director in November 2019 after former AD Lynn Swann resigned, wrote in a statement to the Times saying that it was the “right time” for him to step away as USC’s athletic director “after more than 40 years of college athletics leadership.”
“I have dedicated my life to serving student-athletes and advancing the enterprise of intercollegiate athletics,” Bohn wrote in the statement.

The team’s plans to build a new arena in Tempe were recently shot down by voters. This left the ‘Yotes — who currently play at ASU’s Mullett Arena — without a long-term home.

Cameron Young moved his ball marker to get out of the way of his playing partners. When it was his turn to finish out, he forgot to move it back.
