Bill Stevens Retires After 21 Years at WSU

After 21 years as the heartbeat of Washington State University athletics, Bill Stevens has retired — leaving behind a legacy that shaped the Cougars’ voice across sports, media, and community. From spearheading football media relations to hosting NCAA championships and welcoming ESPN’s College GameDay, Stevens wore many hats, including sport administrator for men’s golf and women’s tennis. Praised by AD Jon Haarlow as an “institution,” Stevens navigated five athletic directors and seven head coaches while earning a Murrow College award and staying deeply connected as a proud ’87 WSU grad and four-year tennis letterwinner. His journey began with UC Davis and the Sacramento Kings, but his true home was Cougar Country — and he’ll be missed at every future event.
