The University of Washington has announced that Athletic Director Todd Turner has resigned. A statement was released, saying that Turner and President Mark Emmert meet and decided it would be best to move in a different direction.
His resignation is effective at the end of January 2008.
We'll have more on this story as it becomes available.
*Update - This looks like it was a mutual decision, not one where Turner walked away or Emmert fired him. The big question this decision sparks: Will Tyrone Willingham still be kept as football coach? It was only a week ago that Turner and Emmert publicly said Willingham will be back, but was that only a public front? Did Turner and Emmert disagree about this decision behind closed doors, leading to Turner's resignation? Was it Turner's inability to get funding for the stadium renovation? These questions may never be answered, but we can always speculate.
