IUPUI athletics director resigning after 19 years in job

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The athletics director who oversaw IUPUI’s move into NCAA Division I sports is stepping down after 19 years in the position.

The Indianapolis school announced Wednesday that Michael Moore is resigning effective Aug. 14.

Moore’s time as athletics director saw IUPUI double its number of sports programs to its current 18. The Jaguars moved into Division I in 1998 and are members of the Summit League.

IUPUI says it will conduct a national search for Moore’s successor.
