After over a decade as director of athletics for Kent State, Joel Nielsen will not seek to extend his contract with the university.
Nielsen’s current contract is set to expire on June 30, at which point he will part ways with the university.
“Recently, I informed President Diacon that I am not seeking a renewal of my contract and that I will be transitioning out of the athletic director’s position at the end of my contract,” Nielsen said in a press release at 2 p.m. Thursday.
