Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage announced his retirement Tuesday after 16 years leading one of the most successful athletic departments in the ACC.
Littlepage, the third-longest serving athletic director in the league, oversaw a program that won 13 NCAA championships under his leadership. Though the football team has struggled in recent years, programs like men's basketball, baseball, men's soccer, lacrosse, rowing and men's tennis have flourished. Virginia's 76 ACC championships since 2002 lead the conference.
"There is a sense of great pride in the accomplishments of our program since taking over as AD in 2001," Littlepage said in a statement.
