The hiring of the new USC athletic director appears eminent. That man appears to be Mike Bohn of Cincinnati.
USC is “nearing a deal” to hire Bohn as athletic director, according to Bruce Feldman of the Athletic who tweeted the news on Friday morning. Dan Wolken of USA Today confirmed the choice while others jumped on board as the morning continued.
Though the hire is not yet official, Bohn would be only the second athletic director hire for the Trojans who did not have direct ties to the school. The other was Mike McGee, who coincidentally came to USC from Cincinnati as well.
