Mun Choi, president of the University of Missouri, stated in a press statement that “the momentum of Mizzou Athletics is undeniable thanks to the incredible leadership of Athletic Director Veatch.” “We are a source of pride for all Missourians and a dominant force in the SEC. Our programs will continue to advance and provide our student-athletes and devoted Tiger supporters with demonstrated outcomes thanks to AD Veatch and his staff’s dedication to excellence and winning championships.

After moving to Missouri from Memphis in 2024, Veatch has managed numerous major construction projects and fundraising campaigns. Additionally, he was in charge of Kellie Harper’s hire, which was a big change for the women’s basketball team.
Veatch expressed his sincere gratitude to President Choi and the Board of Curators for their confidence and assistance. The work of our coaches, staff, student-athletes, and supporters who have embraced our “Will to Win” and have faith in Mizzou Athletics’ future is reflected in this extension. Although we’ve made significant strides, the truth is that we’re only getting started.
