Pollard Steps Down After Decades | Des Moines News

Iowa State’s AD Jamie Pollard is stepping down this fall, timed to coincide with his successor’s hiring — ensuring a smooth transition and letting him wrap up the football season. He’s not staying on to interfere, wanting the new leader to start fresh.

Expect a leadership change by year’s end as Pollard moves to his next chapter. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
