The UM Board of Curators have approved a three-year contract extension for Mizzou athletic director Laird Veatch.
President Choi says the momentum of Mizzou Athletics is undeniable, thanks to Mr. Veatch’s leadership. Construction crews are expected to finish the $250-million Memorial Stadium improvement project before Mizzou football’s season opener in September. Curators also say Veatch has been involved in a comprehensive restructure and rebrand of the Mizzou Athletics Fund to better align donor impact with program priorities.
In the most recent fiscal year, Mizzou Athletics increased total revenue by about $14-million to a record $182-million.
