USC athletic director Mike Bohn resigned from his position, he and the school announced Friday. Bohn's resignation comes at a surprising time, less than four years after he was hired from Cincinnati to replace Lynn Swann, who resigned from the job after three years.
Bohn mentioned «ongoing health challenges» in a statement issued to the Los Angeles Times, but no clear reason for his decision has been provided.
Bohn told ESPN's Pete Thamel that it was an amicable split with the university. «It's a great time with USC's emergence into the Big Ten for new leadership to move the program forward,» Bohn said.
As USC's athletic department and football team needed revamping, the 62-year-old Bohn arrived as the first athletic director in the previous 25 years without any prior connection to the school.
