Izzi replaced former director Brandon Martin, who was fired in March along with basketball coach Reggie Theus. Prior to joining the CSUN staff, Izzi served as director of athletics at University of California – Irvine, and before that for 16 years in sports administration at Stanford University, including as primary supervisor for several sports and handling fundraising strategies.
