Former AD Mike Alden Named to Mizzou Hall of Fame; The Buzz, Saturday, April 26, 2025

Near the conclusion of his tenure with the Tigers, Alden oversaw the transition in athletic conferences in 2012 when Mizzou left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference. Alden emphasized academic and athletic excellence during his tenure, leading the Tigers to a No. 2 ranking in the SEC in graduation and academic progress rates in 2014.

Alden's time in charge saw numerous MU sports soar to new height, winning conference titles in football, men's basketball, volleyball, soccer, softball, baseball and wrestling.
