前URI运动主任和UMass足球校友Thorr Bjorn(1987-1990年)从12月1日起被聘为UMass高级副运动主任和首席行政官,重点是足球项目。 Thorr Bjorn, former URI athletic director and UMass football alum (1987–1990), has been hired as UMass’ senior deputy athletic director and chief administrative officer, effective December 1, focusing on the football program. 他在最近接受了 URI 的晋升后加入，他将体育总监瑞安·班福德 （Ryan Bamford） 的愿景——尤其是转会到中美洲联盟——作为一个关键因素。 He joins after recently accepting a promotion at URI, citing athletic director Ryan Bamford’s vision—particularly the move to the Mid-American Conference—as a key factor. Bamford曾管理过所有田径运动,他说,他需要一位专职领导人,在关注外部优先事项的同时,处理日常的足球任务。 Bamford, who previously managed all athletics operations, said he needed a dedicated leader to handle day-to-day football duties while he focuses on external priorities. Bjorn的五年任期为395 000美元的年度合同填补了6月以来空缺的角色。 Bjorn’s five-year, $395,000 annual contract fills a role left vacant since June. 尽管乌马斯足球在2025年开始0比9, Bamford和Bjorn都对计划的未来表示信心, Despite UMass football’s 0–9 start in 2025, both Bamford and Bjorn expressed confidence in the program’s future, citing ongoing stadium upgrades and structural changes as signs of progress.
