UCLA extends Athletics Director Martin Jarmond’s contract through 2029
“In just four years, Martin has redefined UCLA Athletics — creating new opportunities for Bruins to compete on the biggest stages, making major investments in student-athlete wellness and success, taking important steps to shore up the financial health of our athletics enterprise and putting an inclusive culture at the center of the department,” said UCLA Interim Chancellor Darnell Hunt. “We are excited that he will continue to shepherd our legendary athletics program into a new era.
Since Jarmond’s appointment, UCLA has captured five NCAA championships, including men’s and women’s water polo titles in 2020 and 2024, respectively; back-to-back men’s volleyball titles in 2023 and 2024; and a women’s soccer crown in 2022, bringing UCLA’s all-time NCAA championship total to 123, the most in the Big Ten Conference and the second-most of any program in the nation.
