Ole Miss Athletics Director Ross Bjork has been named vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics at the University of Mississippi.
In announcing that Bjork had been given the new vice chancellor title, university officials also noted that an agreement was reached this summer to extend the athletics director’s contract to June 30, 2020.
quote:
The new title, as well as the extension of Bjork’s contract to reach the four-year maximum allowed by the state, reflects the university’s appreciation and support of the athletics director’s exemplary work since coming to Ole Miss, Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said.
“Athletics serves an important role at our university as our ‘front porch’ – capturing the hearts and minds of people and bringing them to campus so that they can experience the full richness of our great university,” Vitter said. “Athletics has played a big role in elevating the Ole Miss brand to its strongest point in school history.
“The success of our athletics program is unprecedented and is directly attributable to Ross’ leadership. Naming him as the vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics will continue that momentum. I expect under Ross’ leadership that athletics will continue to be an integral part of our growth and increased visibility.”
quote:
“The idea is that this puts the AD at the table with the provost and other academic leaders on campus on a regular basis,” said Ron Rychlak, UM professor of law and faculty athletics representative. “That facilitates communication between athletics and academics, which is good for all parts of the university.”

As long as we don't get the death penalty or something like that then yeah I'm all for it.

Maybe his new title will encourage him to tell Freeze to start firing people

If we get our dick shoved into a meat grinder by the NCAA I would really question the senior leadership for doing this.

He raises money like a boss and has made some good hires with new coachs plus kept good coaches happy. If his plan to get us through the NCAA works then he has done a great job and deserves it. If we get the hammer from the NCAA then not so much.

I had typed out and was about to submit "Great sign, and one of the better moves we've ever made". Then I deleted it after thinking of the mega WAOM potential this has and didn't want to jinx it.

Judging by what came down on Louisville yesterday and what they were guilty of, you can't help but to think we aren't gonna get what so many hope we do. What we've been accused of pales in comparison to what they are guilty. Geez.
