The last few years have brought a wave of monumental changes to college sports, and Big 12 deputy commissioner Tim Weiser knows now is the time for him to step away.
Weiser, who previously was Kansas State’s athletics director from 2001 to 2008, will retire at the end of this year after helping the conference work through yet another round of realignment.
For the last 16 years, Weiser has overseen the day-to-day operations in the conference office, served as the primary liaison to the board of directors and handled sportsmanship issues. He has served under four Big 12 commissioners, watched six member institutions leave and ushered in 10 new schools to the conference, providing at least some administrative stability in a league regularly buffeted by upheavals.
