Early life and education

Born in Gainesville, Florida, Muir attended Brown University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in organizational behavior and management and played basketball, serving as the team's co-captain in his senior year.[1][2] He went on to earn a master's degree in sports administration from Ohio University.[2]

Sports administration career

Muir worked as assistant director of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship and then joined the staff of Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White.[2] In 2005, Muir was named athletic director at Georgetown University, and in 2009, was hired in the same position at the University of Delaware.[1][2]

In 2012, following the departure of Bob Bowlsby to head the Big 12 Conference, Stanford chose Muir as its seventh athletic director.[1][2]

In December 2014, Muir was announced as one of the six recipients of the 2015 Silver Anniversary Awards, presented annually by the NCAA to outstanding former student-athletes on the 25th anniversary of the end of their college sports careers. The award is based on both athletic and professional success.[3]

gollark: I have a bunch of unused slots, how does "slot rental" work?
gollark: Shadowdrake or someone had some *great* name suggestions like "Bob the Unbuilder" on that thread, which I have now used.
gollark: Yes, but if it was a game feature it could be done safely.
gollark: I mean, *arguably* they might be *slightly* terrible ideas with horrible downsides, but you know.
gollark: I came up with the idea of making names a tradeable good like eggs/hatchlings, and wanted to post that along with my earlier one of increasing the length limit and removing character set constraints, in order to encourage more varied discussion.
