Leadership isn’t a singular word to Ross Bjork. “We’re really nothing without our team,” Bjork said. “When you stand in front of your entire athletic staff and say, ‘OK, I am responsible for their future,’ that is a big responsibility. I take that very seriously.” The growth of the athletic department’s budget from about $50 million when Bjork arrived from Western Kentucky in 2012 to $96 million for the 2015-16 school year has allowed the school to fund a number of initiatives that have been a part of its Forward Together campaign, including improvements and renovations to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Bjork said he will continue to be a steward of the athletic department who works to help Ole Miss compete with the titans in college sports. -Adam Minichino, The Dispatch, Read More
