The University of Wisconsin continues its search for a new athletic director one month after Chris McIntosh's departure to join the Big Ten Conference in an administrative role.

McIntosh, who had served as Wisconsin's athletic director, resigned from his position to take a job with the Big Ten, leaving the university to conduct a search for his replacement.

The timing of McIntosh's departure places Wisconsin in the position of needing to identify and hire new leadership for its athletics program during a period of ongoing changes in college sports.

Details about the search process, including potential candidates or a timeline for hiring, have not been disclosed by university officials. The athletic director position oversees all aspects of Wisconsin's sports programs and represents a key administrative role within the university structure.
