West Point Athletic Director to Depart

WEST POINT, N.Y. – The U.S. Military Academy announced today that Boo Corrigan, West Point’s Athletic Director, has accepted a new position at North Carolina State University.

“Boo is a leader of character who knows how to build teams and win honorably,” said Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams, West Point Superintendent. “He has transformed Army Athletics here at West Point, and without a doubt will do the same for NC State. We are very excited for Boo and his family as they start this new chapter in their lives.”

Corrigan has been the athletic director at West Point since March 2011. In support of building a winning culture at West Point, Corrigan has presided over one of the most successful eras in Army West Point's recent history with the Black Knights achieving milestones and setting records.

Army operates a 28-sport intercollegiate athletic program, highlighted by its nationally recognized football team. Under the direction of head coach Jeff Monken, the Black Knights finished 11-2 this season and closed the season with a win over Houston in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl and ranked No. 19 in the AP Poll.

A national search will begin immediately in pursuit of the next West Point athletic director. An interim director will be appointed upon Corrigan’s departure.
