Lynn Swann will become USC's next athletic director, effective July 1, 2016, USC president C. L. Max Nikias announced today.
Swann is a legend in Trojan and NFL football, a highly regarded international media broadcaster, an extraordinarily effective leader, and a deeply committed civic figure. The Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl X, Swann is already well known to the Trojan Family, as well as to individuals around the world.
Swann will replace Pat Haden, who in February announced he will retire as athletic director on June 30.
"To his new role, Lynn Swann will bring the heart and soul of a Trojan," said Nikias.
