After a long and intense search led by Oregon State President Ed Ray and consultants such as former OSU quarterback Steve Preece, the Beavers selected Todd Stansbury as the new athletic director. Stansbury previously held the same position at the University of Central Florida.
For those who are unaware, Stansbury was the deputy athletic director at Oregon State from 2003 to 2012.
Stansbury returns to OSU after a very successful run at UCF where he orchestrated the Knights transition from Conference USA to the American Athletic Conference. UCF football also thrived during his tenure, going 31-9 over three seasons.
