From Wire Reports The Spokesman-Review

EUGENE, Ore. – Bill Moos was expected to resign as athletic director at the University of Oregon this week, The Register-Guard newspaper reported Saturday night on its Web site.

Sources close to Moos and in the school’s administration confirmed the resignation, citing personal reasons, but refused to offer details, according to the report.

Moos, 55, has been athletic director since 1995 after five years as A.D. at the University of Montana, and guided the expansion of Autzen Stadium and the construction of the department’s Moshofsky Center.

Moos played football at Washington State and was later an assistant A.D. and associate A.D. at WSU.

During his tenure, the budget for athletics at Oregon rose from $18 million to $40 million, and the department has added two new women’s sports.
