The rumors are true, UNLV fans. The Rebels are on the lookout for a new athletic director.

Tina Kunzer-Murphy, whose contract expires in December, will be retained until June of 2017. Initially hired on an interim basis in 2013 before being promoted to the job full time, the first woman to run the Rebels athletic department will be reassigned to a new position with the UNLV Foundation starting June 1st, 2017.

Under Kunzer-Murphy’s leadership there’s been plenty of change at UNLV. This year the school received a $10 million dollar gift from the Fertitta Family for a new practice and wellness facility.
