E. Michael Mullally (April 29, 1939 – July 15, 2021)[1] was an American college athletics administrator. He was the athletic director at Eastern Illinois University (1974–1979),[2] California State University, Fullerton (1979–1981), and Boise State University (1981–1982).
At Boise State, Mullally succeeded longtime athletic director Lyle Smith in the summer of 1981.[3] Less than a year later, Mullally resigned in March 1982 following criticism of his proposed ticketing policy for the school's football and basketball games.[4][5] Assistant athletic director Gene Bleymaier was promoted by university president John Keiser and held the post for more than 29 years.
Mullally owned several Checkers drive-in restaurants in the Kansas City area in the 1990s; by 2001 he had retired to Florida.[6]
