Jamie Pollard Steps Down After 21 Years | Des Moines News

After 21 transformative years, Iowa State’s longest-serving athletic director, Jamie Pollard, is stepping down—planning to retire June 30, 2027, or when his successor takes over. Under his leadership, Cyclones earned 27 NCAA Academic Awards, 24 Big 12 team titles, and 24 individual NCAA championships. Pollard, twice named FBS AD of the Year and the only AD to hold leadership roles in multiple national associations, leaves behind a legacy of fan growth, record fundraising, and the CyTown entertainment district. He’ll always be a Cyclone at heart, closing an era defined by excellence both on and off the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
