WAC Commish Hurd stepping down in December

WAC Commissioner Jeff Hurd "will step down" from the position in December after 37 years with the conference, the last 10 as commissioner. Hurd has been with the conference for "more than half of its existence, joining the league in August of 1985 as director of conference relations" (KSL.com, 7/7). He replaced former Commissioner Karl Benson on an interim basis in March '12. A little more than one year later, Hurd was named Benson's full-time replacement (WAC).
