PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Rutgers athletic director Robert E. Mulcahy will step down at the end of the month.
In a statement, Rutgers president Richard L. McCormick said Mulcahy will leave on Dec. 31, two days after the Rutgers football team plays in the Papajohns.com Bowl against North Carolina State in Birmingham, Ala.
"Bob Mulcahy has provided outstanding leadership for the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics at Rutgers for a decade," McCormick said. "I applaud his accomplishments and his tireless efforts on behalf of our student athletes, the coaching staff, and the thousands of Rutgers fans."
In a statement issued by the Rutgers Athletic Communications office Wednesday evening, Mulcahy said: "I was asked to resign. I have not offered my resignation."
