Kevin Buisman, Minnesota State Director of Athletics, has withdrawn his candidacy for the vacant AD position at the University of Northern Iowa.
 

"After careful thought and extensive personal deliberation, I have decided to withdraw my name from consideration in the search process for the Director of Athletics position at the University of Northern Iowa.  As an alumnae, this was a professional development opportunity that held a great deal of intrigue and one I fully explored as a finalist through a comprehensive on-campus interview process.  After further reflecting on both that experience and my current circumstances I have reached the conclusion that this was not quite the right fit for me and my family at this particular time."

 

"I am grateful  for the opportunity to provide continuing leadership for the Maverick athletic program and feel extremely fortunate to serve an outstanding institution like Minnesota State University and a wonderfully supportive community in the Greater Mankato area.   Our program has achieved excellence, not only competitively, but in the classroom and through civic engagement, and I look forward to building on that success and to obtaining future program goals in the years ahead."

Buisman, a native of Marion, Iowa, is in his 14th year at the Maverick Athletics helm.  His bio is located HERE.
