UMd. Athletic Director Denies He's Leaving for Stanford

University of Maryland Athletic Director Kevin Anderson told the Washington Post Monday that there's "no truth" to talk that he's leaving his job for Stanford University. 

Earlier in the day, the San Francisco Chronicle had reported that Stanford was ready to name Anderson its athletic director pending the completion of contract talks. 

If hired, Anderson would replace former AD Bob Bowlsby, who left Stanford earlier this year to become commissioner of the Big 12 Conference.

But within hours, Anderson issued a blunt denial to the Post, saying he hadn't "talked to anybody from Stanford University about their athletics director position or any other position."

A Stanford spokeswoman later backed up that claim, telling the Chronicle that the school hadn't spoken with Anderson or his representative.

Anderson has served as Maryland's athletic director at since replacing Debbie Yow in 2010. His tenure has been marked by due to budget pressures and the selection of Randy Edsall to replace fired football coach Ralph Friedgen.

Anderson is also a former Stanford athletic fund raiser and the first vice president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
