UCLA replaces AD with ex-Lakers executive

UCLA is making some changes in the athletics department. After the football season, UCLA brought in Bob Chesney as the new head coach after moving on from DeShaun Foster.

Now, the entire athletics department will have a new boss, as the old AD is out and a new one is in, per Ben Bolch of the California Post.

“UCLA AD Martin Jarmond is out and former Lakers executive Tim Harris is in as AD and CEO of UCLA athletics on a pro-bono basis for the time being” Bolch posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Martin Jarmond joined UCLA in 2020 after being the AD at Boston College. He was also the assistant AD at Michigan State and Ohio State before that. Meanwhile, he is owed plenty of money on his contract, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.

“Martin Jarmond has been dismissed as UCLA’s athletic director. He’s set to be owed the $6.5 million remaining on his contract. He’s been there since 2020,” Thamel posted on X.

This is a developing story with more to come.
