Damon Evans is out as athletic director at the University of Georgia, WSB-TV Sports Director Zach Klein is reporting.
The official announcement will come Monday, according to the report.
Klein, citing a source close to UGA's athletic department, reports that UGA President Michael Adams asked for and received Evans' resignation.
Evans, 40, was arrested on a DUI charge after a traffic stop late Wednesday night in Atlanta. Evans refused a breathalyzer test and spent the night in the city jail.
Courtney Fuhrmann, 28, who was in the car with Evans, was arrested for disorderly conduct. A married father of two, Evans called Fuhrmann "a friend."
When the state trooper who pulled them over asked Evans why he had a pair of red panties between his legs, Evans replied: "She took them off and I held them because I was just trying to get her home," the trooper's report states.
In a Thursday news conference, Evans apologized but said he hoped to keep his job.
"I talk about setting the tone and setting an example and I failed at that," he said. "I sincerely apologize for my actions. I hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me. I made a grave, grave mistake. My actions have put a black cloud over our storied program. I have to take a step back and get on track."
Evans was stopped in his BMW minutes before his new, five-year contract was to begin. The deal called for Evans to receive a $110,000 raise to $550,000 annually

Any mention of a black G in a white circle on the item in question?
If a state trooper caught me with a pair of red panties between my legs I would say I was a pantie salesman and was familiarizing myself with the new line.
They were probably her “lucky” panties, a token
for the coming season.
What is this world coming to, when stuff like this can
get a person fired.
Don’t you know that there was a black G some where on those panties.
What does Uga have to say about this new development in UGA history?
Oh dude! You got busted over that?
Red panties? Looks like he can get a better job at Nebraska or Alabama then.
Man that is one expensive ‘friend’.
Courtney was the designated driver...

Opps!
“At that point I suspected he was intoxicated, as he was acting like a dachshund with its mouth full of peanut butter.”
like when did you start wearing a girdle, after my wife found it in the glove box.
If that’s her picture above, I’d claim she was a friend also.
preliminarily “not guilty”
pending improved graphical evidence
