Alden’s contract extended at Mizzou

August 7, 2009 By admin

University of Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden’s contract has been extended through June 30, 2017. "Mike Alden’s accomplishments at Mizzou have been nothing short of amazing," said Chancellor Brady Deaton.

Alden is now entering his 12th year as athletic director, one of the most successful athletic seasons in Mizzou history.  The Tigers won Big 12 titles in basketball, softball and soccer and a second consecutive Big 12 North Division title in football. Since his arrival, MU has consistently led the Big 12 Conference in graduation and Academic Progress Rates (APR). Last year, the Tigers ranked as the national leader among BCS public institutions in this rating, which measures the academic progress of student-athletes.

In a statement, Alden said "I’m very appreciative of the confidence that Dr. Deaton and the University leadership have in Athletics, and I firmly believe this is a direct reflection of the outstanding job that our coaches, staff and student-athletes are continuing to do here."
