ESPN Reports OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione Is Set to Retire, Sources

Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione announced on Monday his plan to retire from full-time duties during the upcoming school year.
Castiglione initiated retirement talks nearly a month ago to ensure the university has adequate time to hire his successor before the 2025-26 athletics year.
Castiglione has led Oklahoma since 1998, overseeing 26 national titles, hiring Bob Stoops, and orchestrating the 2024 move from the Big 12 to the SEC.
At 67, Castiglione holds the distinction of being the most experienced current athletic director at a top-tier college program and will continue with the university as athletic director emeritus.
His retirement opens a transition period for OU, with Joseph Harroz Jr. tasked to replace him, while Castiglione may stay involved in special university projects locally.
