UTAH – Former Illinois State University Athletic Director Kyle Brennan is returning to his roots after abruptly resigning.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Brennan is the new CEO of Crimson Collective, a name, image, and likeness company at the University of Utah.
The collective is an independent NIL organization at the University, meaning the University does not directly employ him.
Brennan, who previously worked in the athletics department at Utah, stepped down in April.
Dr. Jeri Beggs is the interim AD at ISU until the University can find a replacement.
