Pat Chun has been introduced as the new athletic director at the University of Washington, leaving behind his role at Washington State to lead the rival program as they transition to the Big Ten Conference this fall. The announcement was met with applause from supporters as Chun expressed his enthusiasm with a 'Go Dawgs' cheer.
Washington president Ana Mari Cauce highlighted the extensive search for the best candidate, emphasizing that Chun's previous position at Washington State was incidental to his selection. Chun's tenure at Washington State was marked by advocating for the school's athletic programs during a period of conference realignment.
