AUSTIN, Texas (AP) The Austin American Statesman is reporting that Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds will step down in August 2014 and move into a consulting role at the nation’s wealthiest college athletic program.
Dodds could not immediately be reached for comment. Dodds vigorously denied a report earlier this month that he was stepping down on Dec. 31. Under the retirement plan to be announced Tuesday, Dodds will remain on the job through Aug. 31, 2014 and move into a consulting role through 2015.
Dodds, 76, has been at Texas for 32 years. He was the AD at K-State from 1977 to 1981.
