Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens has been named to a United States Olympic Committee advisory council tasked with strengthening collegiate sports programs that feed Team USA's rosters.
Mullens and the rest of the 11-member Collegiate Advisory Council convened for the first time last week in Colorado Springs. The UO athletic director also is in his second year of a three-year appointment to the College Football Playoff selection committee.
The USOC's Collegiate Advisory Council is chaired by Duke athletic director Kevin White, and also includes Stanford AD Bernard Muir as well as athletic directors from Texas, Alabama, Ohio State and Florida.
