Jim Phillips ACC Commissioner The Atlantic Coast Conference announced that James J. Phillips, Ph.D., the Combe Family Vice President for Athletics & Recreation at Northwestern University, will serve as the conference’s next commissioner. Phillips brings more than three decades of experience in Division I athletics, a track record of tremendous achievement, a vision for the future of intercollegiate athletics, and a passion for helping student-athletes achieve impact and success in competition, in the classroom and in their communities. “Jim is one of the most talented athletic administrators in the country and uniquely qualified to successfully and seamlessly take over the helm of the ACC,” says ACC Board Chair Kent Syverud (Syracuse University). “Over the course of nearly 13 years, Jim has elevated and cemented Northwestern’s position as an outstanding Power 5 athletics program. Northwestern’s ascension in the world of intercollegiate athletics is a testament to Jim’s vision, leadership and foundational dedication to the success of student-athletes. The ACC is fortunate to have someone of Jim’s caliber and integrity lead the conference at this pivotal moment in intercollegiate athletics.” Phillips was named Northwestern’s 21st director of intercollegiate athletics and recreation in April 2008. By 2012, Phillips was elevated by Northwestern President Morton Schapiro to the position of Combe Family Vice President for Athletics & Recreation, a title reflecting the campus-wide responsibilities of the role as well as its voice on the President’s Senior Staff. Phillips, a Chicago native, acknowledges that while his departure from Northwestern is bittersweet, he is grateful to have the opportunity to build on the storied success of the ACC. “With overwhelming gratitude to ACC Board of Directors chair Kent Syverud, search advisory committee co-chairs Nathan Hatch and Fr. John Jenkins, and the Conference’s 15 member institutions, I accept this humbling invitation to lead the Atlantic Coast Conference,” said Phillips. “Serving Northwestern student-athletes, staff and the greater Wildcats family for the last 13 years has been the privilege of my professional life. The opportunity to watch my children grow up in my hometown, and work alongside leaders like presidents Henry Bienen and Morty Schapiro, as well as board chairs Pat Ryan, Bill Osborn and Lanny Martin, is something I’ll always be profoundly thankful for. My career has been dedicated to the development and betterment of student-athletes, and I am thrilled for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to guide one of the most prestigious and accomplished athletic organizations in the world.” Phillips has led Northwestern to elite status both on and off the playing fields. In competition, under his leadership, 10 of Northwestern’s athletic programs won conference or national championships, with the football team clinching the Big Ten West Division crown twice in the last three seasons. Nine of Northwestern’s 15 all-time football bowl appearances have occurred with Phillips at the helm, as well as the school’s first appearance in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Over the last five years, Northwestern has invested more than $500 million in new and renovated facilities, supported by record fundraising success. Academically, Wildcats student-athletes surpassed 200 Academic All-Big Ten honorees each of the last 10 years, including a record 288 honorees in 2019-20. Northwestern scored a 98 percent overall Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in the latest data released by the NCAA, a figure which led all FBS schools for the third consecutive year, and has finished in the Top-4 all 15 years the metric has been released. Phillips is known as one of the leading voices across the college sports landscape. He was elected as the inaugural chair of the NCAA Division I Council in February 2015 and served as the first-ever sitting athletic director on the NCAA Board of Directors and Board of Governors. In March of 2017, he was appointed to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Selection Committee, a group he is slated to chair in 2021-22. Phillips also serves as a member of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee, was appointed to the Fiesta Bowl Board of Directors in June of 2018 and currently chairs the Big Ten TV/Media Committee. He twice has served as a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee, and was honored as the 2018 Sports Business Journal Athletic Director of the Year for his leadership at Northwestern. Phillips’ commitment to inclusiveness in athletics was recognized in 2019 when he was honored by the NCAA as a Champion of Diversity and Inclusion. The honor recognizes those who work to support underrepresented communities among college athletics administrators. In 2020, Phillips announced the creation of a new senior leadership position, the Senior Associate A.D./Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, to lead the department’s foundational commitment to a world-class experience for all Northwestern studentathletes. He also established senior staff positions for leaders in community relations, to focus staff and student-athlete service initiatives, and the Kabiller NU For Life professional development program. Before arriving at Northwestern, Phillips held several leadership positions in major athletics programs, including director of athletics at Northern Illinois University (NIU) from 20042008. Prior to NIU, Phillips served as associate director of athletics, then senior associate director of athletics for external affairs at the University of Notre Dame from 2000-2004. Before that, he was assistant athletic director for annual giving and major gifts at the University of Tennessee (1998-2000). Phillips began his career on the coaching side as a basketball team manager and student assistant at the University of Illinois. Phillips went on to serve as a graduate assistant coach and later an assistant basketball coach at Arizona State University before transitioning to athletics administration work in 1997. Phillips earned a Ph.D. in education administration from the University of Tennessee, a master’s degree in education from Arizona State University and an undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois. He and his wife, Laura, have five children: Luke, Madeline, Meredith, John and James.

Patrick Kraft Athletic Director Patrick Kraft, considered one of the best athletics administrators in NCAA Division I sports, was named the William V. Campbell Director of Athletics at Boston College, effective July 1, 2020. Kraft, who has been credited with transforming Temple’s athletics program through new coaching hires, investments in facilities, and a focus on student-athlete welfare and improved classroom performance, succeeds Martin Jarmond, who was named the director of athletics at UCLA in May. As director of intercollegiate athletics at Temple, Kraft directed a $59 million budget, a department of 180 employees, and 500 student-athletes in 19 sports that compete in the American Athletics Conference, the Big East Conference, and the ECAC. He was responsible for all facets of athletics administration, including academics, NCAA Title IX compliance, diversity, finances, and athletics, and led the hiring of new head coaches in football, men’s basketball and men’s and women’s soccer and field hockey. Temple sports accomplishments during his tenure included a 2016 AAC football championship, fivestraight bowl appearances for the first time in school history, a 2015-2016 Men’s basketball AAC regular season championship, and the first NCAA Tournament appearance for women’s basketball in five years. Kraft also led an effort to improve student-athlete classroom performance that resulted in a 20182019 NCAA Academic Performance Rate of 993, fourth among Division I FBS institutions, followed by a school record 90 percent Graduation Success Rate for 2019. He led planning and fundraising efforts for more than $55 million in construction and renovation projects, including the Temple Sports Complex for men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, and track and field, enhancements to locker room facilities for all 19 sports, an all student-athlete lounge, multiple student-athlete nutrition centers, and updated practice facilities for several sports. A successful fundraiser, Kraft set records for the annual fund for five straight years, while consistently enhancing revenues from ticket sales. University President William P. Leahy, S.J., praised Kraft as a person of integrity and accomplishment who is well suited to lead BC Athletics. “Pat understands intercollegiate athletics today and has extensive experience as a player at Indiana University, as well as an administrator at Loyola University Chicago and Temple,” said Fr. Leahy. “He brings with him obvious passion, and a desire to be a part of the BC community. I look forward to working with him.” Kraft said that he was humbled to be named the next director of athletics at Boston College and was eager to begin his career at the Heights. “I am truly honored to be selected to serve Boston College as the steward of such a great intercollegiate athletics department,” said Kraft. “The core values of Boston College are in alignment with how I live my life and how I approach my job, creating world-class experiences for student-athletes with the utmost of integrity, character, faith and love. We will compete for championships, we will continue to graduate young men and women who will go on to change the world, and we will represent BC with pride.” A native of Libertyville, Illinois, Kraft attended Indiana University where he played football as a walk-on before earning a football scholarship, and earned three degrees, including a Ph.D in sport management, a master’s degree in sport marketing administration, and a bachelor’s degree in sport marketing management. Prior to being named director of intercollegiate athletics in 2015, Kraft served as deputy director of athletics at Temple, executive senior associate athletic director at Loyola University Chicago, and senior assistant athletics director for marketing at Indiana University. He has also served as clinical professor in the School of Business Administration at Loyola University Chicago, and as associate instructor in sport marketing and management at Indiana University. A current member of both the NCAA Football Oversight and Football Competition committees, Kraft, 43, was recognized by Sports Bureau Journal as one of the top 40 sports executives under the age of 40 and by the Philadelphia Business Journal as one of the top young Business Executives in Philadelphia. Kraft and his wife Betsy are the parents of two children: Annabelle (6) and Joseph (4).

Dan Radakovich Athletic Director Named the 13th Director of Athletics in Clemson history on Dec. 1, 2012, Radakovich has continuously led the Tiger athletic department to high achievements both on the field and in the classroom while developing significant upgrades in finance and facilities. Radakovich was named the SportsBusiness Journal Athletics Director of the Year for 2016, after being named a finalist in 2015. Since his arrival in December 2012, the athletic department has received approvals for $176 million in capital project improvements and has increased spending on direct student-athlete development programs including nutrition, mental health and professional development. Radakovich came to Clemson with a wealth of experience after serving in significant athletic administrative roles at Miami (Fla.), Long Beach State, South Carolina and Louisiana State in addition to athletic directorships at American University and Georgia Tech. His administrative career spans over 26 years. College football entered a new era in 2014 with the College Football Playoff, and he was at the forefront. He was one of 13 people, including one of only five FBS directors of athletics, to be named to the committee. In 2012, he was named by NCAA President Mark Emmert as one of 10 directors of athletics to a new advisory commission charged with making recommendations for the future of NCAA rules and policies. In his first full year as director of athletics in 2013-14, Clemson had a strong all-around performance on the field and in the classroom. Clemson was one of just three programs nationally to win at least 11 football games, 23 men’s basketball games and 36 baseball games over the course of the academic year. Each of the Tiger sport programs exceeded the NCAA baseline standards for Academic Progress Rate, and six programs posted perfect 1000 single-year scores, including men’s and women’s cross country, diving, women’s soccer, women’s tennis and volleyball. Radakovich came to Clemson from Georgia Tech, where he served with distinction for six years (2006-12). Just Clemson’s fifth director of athletics since 1940, he replaced Terry Don Phillips, who retired after over 10 years directing the program. During his career at Georgia Tech, it had 51 teams advance to either NCAA Tourney play or bowl games in his six years. A total of 11 different sports programs finished in the top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times. That includes a National Championship women’s tennis program in 2007, just its second team title in history. There were 14 ACC titles celebrated in addition to nine regular-season conference or division titles. The football program played in a bowl game each year he was at Georgia Tech, including the 2010 Orange Bowl, the program’s first BCS-level bowl appearance since the 1967 Orange Bowl. The Aliquippa, Pa., native was first made aware of Tiger athletics through the basketball exploits of Butch Zatezalo, who was from the same town. Zatezalo was a three-time All-ACC Tiger whose legendary 25-point scoring nights received a lot of attention in Pennsylvania in the 1960s when Radakovich was a youth. Prior to his tenure at Georgia Tech, Radakovich worked as a senior associate athletic director at Louisiana State from 2001-06. He became a director of athletics for the first time at American University in Washington, D.C. in 2000. Between 1994 and 2000, Radakovich served as chief financial officer at South Carolina. During that time, he worked with current Clemson football administrators Woody McCorvey and Brad Scott. He gained experience on the West Coast from 1989-94, when he was a senior associate athletic director at Long Beach State. He got his start in administration at Miami (Fla.) in 1983 as the athletic business manager. Radakovich is a 1980 graduate of Indiana (Pa.), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in finance. He was also a football letterman and student coach with the Crimson Hawk program. He was enshrined into the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and was recognized as a distinguished alumnus from Indiana (Pa.) in 2009. He earned his master’s degree in business administration from Miami (Fla.) in 1982. Radakovich, born June 9, 1958, and his wife, Marcie, have two sons, Christian, a 2012 Georgia Tech graduate, and Grant, a 2015 Mercer University graduate who joined the Clemson football program this summer.

Kevin White Athletic Director Kevin M. White was named Duke University’s vice president and director of athletics on May 31, 2008. He also serves as an adjunct professor of business administration at the university. White, 66, arrived at Duke after leading Notre Dame’s athletics program for eight years. In addition to previously holding AD positions at Arizona State University, Tulane University, the University of Maine and Loras College in Iowa, White has served in a number of prominent national leadership roles within intercollegiate athletics, including his service in 2006-07 as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and in 2005-06 as president of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association. Always in demand as a visionary leader, White currently serves on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Board of Directors. A testament to the tremendous respect he has garnered within the college athletics community, White has earned multiple high profile awards throughout his career. That impressive list includes the GeneralSports TURF Systems Division I-A Central Region Athletic Director of the Year (2006), the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Under Armour AD of the Year Award presented by NACDA (one of four recipients in 2013), the National Football Foundation’s John L. Toner award (2015), Sports Business Journal’s Athletic Director of the Year award (2015), Bobby Dodd AD of the Year (2015), and the Carl Maddox Sports Management Award (2015). Since White’s arrival, Duke has captured seven NCAA Championships – women’s tennis in 2009, men’s basketball in 2010 and 2015, men’s lacrosse in 2010, 2013 and 2014, and women’s golf in 2014 – and 20 ACC titles. On the strength of 14 teams participating in postseason competition and robust finishes in several sports, Duke ranked 32nd in the 2017 Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings, which determine an institution’s all-around strength in intercollegiate athletics. The 32nd-place showing marked the 14th consecutive year that Duke has ended among the nation’s top 35 programs. In 2011, Duke placed fifth, matching the school’s best finish in the rankings and its 1171.50 points earned were the most in program history. In White’s nine years at Duke, the Blue Devils placed 17th (2009), 10th (2010), fifth (2011), 16th (2012), 12th (2013), ninth (2014), 20th (2015), 24th (2016), and 32nd (2017) in the Directors’ Cup standings. White has served on numerous NCAA committees, including the NCAA Council, formerly the association’s highest governing body. In 2012, White was among a select group of college and professional administrators asked to serve on the recently formed Expert Advisory Board for the Knight Commission. Moreover, he was the secretary of NCAA Football, a non-profit corporation acting as the “collective voice to promote college football.” For several years, he was a member of the Advocates for Athletic Equity Board of Directors (formerly BCA) and a representative with the football Bowl Championship Series. In addition, he previously was an ex-officio member of the Sugar Bowl Committee during his tenure at Tulane, was a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee while at Arizona State, and also worked closely with the Fiesta Bowl during his stay in Tempe. Before becoming an administrator, White served as head track and field coach at Southeast Missouri State and assistant cross country and track and field coach at Central Michigan. He began his coaching career at Gulf High School in New Port Richey, Fla., coaching cross country and track and assisting in football and wrestling. White earned his Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University in 1983 with an emphasis on higher education administration. In 1985, he completed postdoctoral work at Harvard University’s Institute for Educational Management. He earned his master’s degree in athletics administration from Central Michigan University in 1976 and his bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1972 from St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Ind., where he also competed as a sprinter. Additionally, White was recognized with honorary degrees from Loras College (2012), Notre Dame (2008, along with his wife), the United States Sports Academy (2007) and St. Joseph’s College (2001). White is also a Notre Dame Honorary Monogram Club Member. White and his wife, Jane, a former college track and field coach, have five children and 12 grandchildren.

David Coburn Athletic Director David Coburn was named Interim Athletic Director in August of 2018. The interim title was removed in May of 2019 when Coburn became the 12th full time Athletics Director in FSU history. In his nine months as interim head of Athletics, Coburn applied his almost 40 years of legislative and university experience to address challenging budget issues and streamline, reorganize and implement new policies to help the department operate more efficiently and effectively, Thrasher said. “I am grateful to David Coburn for taking on this role permanently,” Thrasher said. “For years I have relied on his experience, integrity and good judgment, and the progress we have made under his leadership is already evident. I know the future of our championship Athletics program is as bright as ever and in good hands.” “I very much appreciate the confidence the president and the Board of Trustees have placed in me,” Coburn said. “Over these past months, their support has been invaluable. I also have gained tremendous appreciation for the wonderful people in Athletics and the Seminole Boosters. They all care deeply about our university and have been working together to move us forward.” Prior to being named interim director of Athletics, Coburn served as chief of staff to President Eric Barron and then Thrasher. Coburn brought a wealth of legislative and state budget experience to the university’s administration when President Eric Barron hired him in 2012. He is a 34-year veteran of the Florida legislative process, most recently Staff Director of the Florida Senate Committee on Ways and Means prior to coming to FSU. He served as Chief of Staff of the House of Representatives under two different Speakers, as Chief of Staff of the Senate under Senate President Ken Pruitt, and as Director of Planning and Budgeting for Gov. Lawton Chiles from 1992-94. Coburn is a triple Florida State alumnus having earned a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning, and a Juris Doctorate from the FSU College of Law.

Todd Stansbury Athletic Director Georgia Institute of Technology introduced former Tech football player Todd Stansbury as the Institute’s ninth director of athletics on Sept. 22, 2016. To assist in achieving his strategic goals, Stansbury established two new offices within the athletics department — the office of brand and ideation, which works to identify and tell the story of the Yellow Jackets’ brand, and the office of innovation, which oversees Georgia Tech’s efforts to build on its status as college athletics’ leader in innovation, particularly through collaboration and partnerships within the Institute and innovation hubs throughout Atlanta. He has also enlisted the help of prominent former Georgia Tech student-athletes that are now leaders in their fields. Examples include Stansbury’s former teammate Sam Bracken, a New York Times best-selling author and renowned executive coach that has worked with Stansbury and the athletics department to establish a strong internal culture and identify strategic priorities, and volleyball alum Jaime Weston, the National Football League’s senior vice president for marketing, creative and branding who is assisting with the Jackets’ brand-identification efforts. Prior to his return to Georgia Tech in 2016, Stansbury served as Oregon State’s athletic director since June 2015, which followed a nine-year stint as the university’s executive associate athletic director (2003-12). During his time at Oregon State, Stansbury was part of a senior management team that raised $150 million for a football stadium expansion, in addition to fundraising for the construction of a sports performing center. He also was part of a team that established several career development initiatives for student-athletes. Stansbury’s resume also includes roles as athletic director at the University of Central Florida (2012-15) and East Tennessee State University (2000-03). He was Georgia Tech’s assistant athletic director for academics from 1988-1995 under legendary A.D. Homer Rice. Stansbury grew up in Canada. When he was 10 years old and on vacation with his family in Florida, he befriended several Georgia Tech football players staying at the same hotel. During the drive back home to Ontario, his family stopped on campus to see a practice. That’s when Stansbury knew he wanted to play football on The Flats. The dream came true and he earned varsity letters while at Georgia Tech from 1980-84 as a middle linebacker and on special teams for head coach Bill Curry. He was selected in the third round of the Canadian Football League draft by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1984. As the ninth director of athletics in Georgia Tech history, he follows in the footsteps of storied names such as Rice, John Heisman and Bobby Dodd. He was hired following a national search that began in August 2016 when Mike Bobinski accepted the athletics director position at Purdue University. A nine-member search committee led by Georgia Tech Foundation President Al Trujillo identified candidates. The search process was assisted by Turnkey Search. Stansbury and his wife, Karen, who were married inside Georgia Tech’s Arthur B. Edge Intercollegiate Athletics Center, reside in Atlanta. After they were married in 1995, the couple traveled the world for 18 months before returning to the United States. Andrew Thacker

Vince Tyra Athletic Director Following a nationwide search, the University of Louisville Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Vincent Tyra as UofL’s vice president for intercollegiate athletics and director of athletics on March 26, 2018. The UofL board approved a five-year agreement with Tyra (pronounced TIE-ray) at a special meeting on March 26 following recommendations from a university wide search committee and the UofL Athletics Association Board of Directors. Tyra was named interim athletics director on Oct. 3, 2017. A Louisville native with strong business and athletics credentials, Tyra has been highly active since assuming his position, using his business acumen, passion for Louisville Athletics and background in athletics to lead UofL during a period of transition. While in his interim capacity, Tyra took steps to stabilize the future of the Cardinals by extending the contracts for key UofL coaches and making moves to efficiently restructure the administrative and support staff, with an emphasis on enhancing the student-athlete experience. He continues to monitor UofL’s ongoing capital projects, including the Cardinal Stadium expansion to be completed in late summer and outfitting of a broadcast center on campus in advance of the launch of the ACC Network in August 2019. Tyra is just the third athletics director for the Cardinals in the last 38 years, following Tom Jurich (1997-2017) and Bill Olsen (1980-97). Prior to his appointment at UofL, Tyra served as an operating partner since 2007 for Southfield Capital, a Greenwich, Conn., based private equity firm that invests in lower middle market companies. In his role there, Tyra served as chairman of the board of many investments, including Hallcon Corp, RCR International, Total Fleet Solutions, Dealer Financial Services, and BioPharm Communications. Tyra most recently served as chairman of the board and interim Chief Executive Officer of Elite Medical, a company based in Clearwater, Fla. Tyra operated as a corporate advisor from 2013-16 for ISCO Industries, a privately held piping supply company based in Louisville. He also formerly served as the president of Retail and Activewear for Fruit of the Loom in Bowling Green, Ky. Tyra has served as a member of the University of Louisville Foundation Board of Directors and chaired the organization’s Finance Committee. He joined the board in February 2017, but stepped down from the position after his appointment with Cardinal Athletics. He has served on the board of Industrial Services of America, a Louisville-based scrap metal recycling company. A standout athlete, Tyra graduated from Trinity High in Louisville in 1984 as the state’s top baseball prospect and was inducted into the school’s hall of fame. He was a fouryear baseball letterman (1985-88) and two-time team captain at Kentucky, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in health administration in 1988. He started 37 career games as a pitcher, tied for 14th all-time at UK. A long-time supporter of UofL Athletics, Tyra is the son of Charlie Tyra, a consensus All-America at UofL who led the Cardinals to the 1956 National Invitation Tournament Championship. Charlie Tyra is one of four players, along with Wes Unseld, Darrell Griffith and Pervis Ellison, whose jersey numbers have been retired at UofL. Tyra and his wife Lori have five children: Sydney, Audrey, Olivia, Spencer and Cooper. Bryan Brown Defensive Coordinator

Blake James Athletic Director Since taking over as the University of Miami’s Director of Athletics in 2013, Blake James has transformed The U, spearheading improvement in all aspects of the department, including postseason appearances, student-athlete support, facility upgrades, ticket sales and academic achievement. In the most recent academic year, Miami continued to achieve excellence both on and off the field. UM’s football team won 10 games for the first time since 2003, played in the ACC Championship Game for the first time and earned an invitation to the Capital One Orange Bowl. Head coach Mark Richt, who James hired in 2016, was named ACC Coach of the Year and Walter Camp National Coach of the Year. That momentum has carried well into the off-season as the Hurricanes are poised to sell out football season tickets for the first time at Hard Rock Stadium in 2018. Miami is also slated to open the new, state-of-the-art Carol Soffer Football Indoor Practice Facility this fall. In 2017-18, Miami was one of only three schools in the nation to have its football team play in a New Year’s Six bowl game and advance both its men’s and women’s basketball teams to the NCAA Tournament. Overall, 14 of UM’s 18 teams advanced to postseason play. Hurricane student-athletes earned two ACC Player of the Year honors, 64 All-ACC selections, nine individual ACC titles and 18 All-America accolades. Miami’s recent success continues to garner both James and UM national recognition. In 2017, James was selected as one of four Division I recipients of the 2016-17 Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year award, an honor given by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). James is currently serving a two-year term as Chair of the NCAA Division I Council, the group responsible for the day-to-day decision-making for all of Division I Athletics. James has always placed a strong emphasis on academics and community outreach during his five-plus years as Miami’s Director of Athletics. In the most recent Graduation Success Rate figures released by the NCAA, Miami student-athletes posted a GSR mark of 91 percent. Twelve Hurricane teams posted perfect 2016-17 scores on the NCAA’s latest Academic Progress Report (APR). Miami’s cumulative GPA for the 2018 spring semester was 3.09 – the ninth consecutive cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Miami’s football program received the 2016 AFCA Academic Achievement Award. In 2018, Hurricane student-athletes ranked first among all Division I schools in the NCAA Team Works Helper Helper Community Service Competition, participating in more than 200 events and logging more than 3,382 hours of community service. During James’ tenure, Miami has completed several facility enhancements, including the opening of the Schwartz Center for Athletic Excellence; the completion of the student-athlete training table, fueling station and dining hall; new artificial and natural playing surfaces and lights on the Greentree Practice Fields and a center-hung scoreboard inside the Watsco Center. James has led multiple, multi-million dollar capital renovation projects, including renovations of the Hecht Center and the men’s and women’s basketball offices. Over the past year, Miami Athletics has secured over $34 million in gifts to fund the Carol Soffer Football Indoor Practice Facility, including the largest donation in department history – a $14 million gift from the Soffer Family, which served as the lead gift for the facility. In addition, Miami has built its broadcast, communications and marketing departments into one of the nation’s leaders in digital media and video production. Miami continually ranks at the top of the conference in number of live ACC Network Extra broadcasts each year. James was also instrumental in helping Miami strike one of the largest apparel deals in the country with adidas. Prior to being named AD, James served Miami Athletics in the roles of Interim AD and Senior Associate AD for Development and Ticket Operations, where he oversaw the day-to-day operations of development, ticket sales and ticket operations. He also was a member of the Hurricanes’ senior staff and provided sport supervision. James graduated from Minnesota State University - Mankato with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing in 1992 and later received his Master’s degree in Sports Administration from St. Thomas University in 1994. He and his wife, Kelly, have two children: daughter, Haley, and son, Ryan.

Bubba Cunningham Athletic Director Since Lawrence R. (Bubba) Cunningham officially began his duties as Carolina’s director of athletics on November 14, 2011, UNC has graduated more than 750 studentathletes while consistently competing for championships in an array of different sports – exciting, motivating and influencing along the way. Among the department’s accomplishments: • The Tar Heels have won nine national titles and made an additional 10 runner-up finishes. • More than 300 student-athletes have made the ACC Academic Honor roll -- which requires a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better for the year – each of the past five years. • Carolina’s APR has steadily risen, and 16 teams scored a perfect 1000 in 2015-16. • The Tar Heels have finished in the top eight of the Learfield Directors’ Cup five times. • And students-athletes have logged more than 25,000 hours of community service, helping at hospitals and local schools, and partnering with a variety of local and national groups. Among Carolina’s many achievements during his tenure are a partnership with Disney to enhance customer service and organizational practices; the development of the StudentAthlete Academic Initiative Working Group; a compliance review by an outside firm; a student-athlete degree completion program called Complete Carolina; a master plan for UNC’s athletic facilities; and the creation of The Rammys -- an innovative end-of-the-year awards show popular with Carolina’s student-athletes and staff. In the summer of 2017, the department was honing the final edits on an updated strategic plan and vision for Carolina Athletics for the next five years. Cunningham has been busy outside of Chapel Hill, as well. He is the president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA); sits on the board of LEAD1, an association representing the ADs from the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools; is in his seventh year on the ACC Television Committee; and has served on many NCAA committees over the last two decades. Cunningham is in his 16th year as a Division I director of athletics. He came to Chapel Hill after spending the previous six years as the director of athletics at the University of Tulsa, where he guided the Golden Hurricane through its initial move to Conference USA and spearheaded a $60 million athletics initiative. Tulsa won 34 league championships during his tenure, more than any other school in Conference USA, and the football program played in five bowl games in his final six years. He was honored as the 2008-09 FBS Central Region Athletics Director of the Year, an award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. He also served as Ball State University’s AD from 2002-2005. There, he led a program with 19 intercollegiate sports and a budget of $12.4 million. Cunningham, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from Notre Dame in 1984 and 1988, respectively, worked in his alma mater’s athletics department from 1988-2002. The former member of the Irish golf team (1982-83) served as Notre Dame’s associate athletics director for finance and facilities from 1995-2000 and was the associate director of athletics for external affairs from 2000-02. Cunningham also has served on the Gatorade National Advisory Board and has been a featured speaker at numerous NACDA and LEAD1 conferences. Born in Flint, Mich., and raised in Naples, Fla., Cunningham and his wife, Tina, have four grown children: Matthew, Michael, John and Sarah.

At NC State, Corrigan leads a program that includes 23 teams, revenue of about $86 million and more than 200 full-time employees.

Jack Swarbrick Athletic Director John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate now in his 13th year in 2020-21 as Vice President and James E. Rohr Director of Athletics at his alma mater, has attached his signature to a variety of new initiatives during his tenure: Creating the STAND TOGETHER movement in conjunction with Notre Dame student-athletes, an equality initiative developed to create change locally and to be a catalyst for change nationally as it relates to social justice. Promoted Angie Torain to the newly created position of Senior Associate Athletics Director for Culture, Diversity and Engagement to lead the department in these initiatives. Launching of Fighting Irish Media — a major enterprise that delivers better information about and access to Notre Dame and its athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming. Developing a plan for expanding Notre Dame Stadium in order to make it a year-round asset for the University, while also improving the gameday experience for student-athletes and fans. That initiative became reality with the 2014 announcement of the Campus Crossroads Project that added new structures to three sides of Notre Dame’s home football facility—creating new homes for student activities and recreation, career services, digital media, as well as academic disciplines anthropology, psychology, music and sacred music. Hosting of major events to generate revenue for the campus and community. Since 2018 Notre Dame has hosted a Garth Brooks’ concert in Notre Dame Stadium (October 2018), the NHL Winter Classic in Notre Dame Stadium (January 2019), the 2019 U.S. Senior Open at the Warren Golf Course (June 2019) and an international soccer match between Liverpool and Dortmund in Notre Dame Stadium (July 2019). Building of student-athlete programs to develop leadership skills, increase community service and provide mentoring and career services resources. Creating systems and structures to maximize the impact of technical expertise, environments, technology and service delivery on an athlete’s ability to optimize performance. Over the past several years, Swarbrick played a major role in significant announcements that positively impacted Notre Dame on the national collegiate scene: The 2019 launch of the ACC Network on ESPN – a comprehensive linear and digital network that will give fans access to more than 600 exclusive live events from across the conference via a linear channel within the ESPN family of networks and a digital live-events channel – ACC Network Extra. Membership for Notre Dame’s athletic teams (other than football and hockey) in the Atlantic Coast Conference that began with the 2013-14 athletic seasons. In football, Notre Dame plays five games per year against ACC opponents and has full access to the league’s list of postseason bowl options. An extension of the University’s relationship with NBC Sports through the 2025 football season. The 2014 announcement of an unmatched 10-year relationship with Under Armour that provides performance footwear, apparel and equipment for Irish athletic programs. In addition to being a shareholder in Under Armour, Notre Dame collaborates with Under Armour in the areas of sport technology, product development and athlete performance. Creation by the Bowl Championship Series of the four-team College Football Playoff, which started with the 2014 season, with Notre Dame maintaining viable access into that system.

Heather Lyke Athletic Director Heather Lyke is now in her second year as Pitt’s director of athletics. Although her tenure has been brief, Lyke’s impact has been considerable and impressive. Her influence has been evident in the recruitment of nationally regarded head coaches, a strengthened focus on the total student-athlete experience and the establishment of a culture of comprehensive excellence. At the conclusion of her first year at the university, Chancellor Patrick Gallagher announced a new six-year agreement that will ensure her leadership at Pitt through at least 2024. The move was not only a reward for Lyke’s momentous first year, but also a reflection of the institution’s long-term commitment to a championship future for Pitt Athletics. Since joining Pitt in March 2017, Lyke has recruited eight new head coaches. Lyke also solidified the future of Pitt’s ascending football program by extending the contract of head coach Pat Narduzzi, who has directed the Panthers to signature wins over Clemson, Miami and Penn State during the past two seasons. Lyke is the first woman to hold the full-time director of athletics post at the University of Pittsburgh. From 2013-17, Lyke served as vice president and director of athletics at Eastern Michigan University. Prior to EMU, she was a ranking athletic administrator at Ohio State for 15 years. Lyke additionally held posts at the University of Cincinnati and with the NCAA. Lyke found the beginning of her professional path during her days as a scholarship studentathlete at the University of Michigan, where she captained the Wolverines’ Big Ten champion softball team. She earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Michigan and a Juris Doctor from the University of Akron School of Law. From 1998-2013, Lyke worked at Ohio State, where she was a member of the athletic department’s executive team and a lead figure in the development of the Buckeyes’ strategic plan. Lyke directly oversaw 10 of Ohio State’s 36 athletic programs and had oversight of all facets of the athletic councils involving budget, revenue generation, facilities and OSU’s golf course operations. Prior to Ohio State, Lyke served at Cincinnati as the assistant athletic director for compliance as well as the senior woman administrator from 1996-98. She began her career at the NCAA as an intern in the enforcement and student-athlete reinstatement department from 1995-96. Born and raised in Canton, Ohio, Lyke starred at GlenOak High School in volleyball, basketball and softball. She accepted a softball scholarship from Michigan, where she lettered four years as a first baseman and was an All-Academic Big Ten honoree. She was a two-time team captain and helped Michigan to the 1992 Big Ten championship. Lyke and her husband, David Catalano, have three children: Elle, Sophie and Eli. Randy Bates

John Wildhack Athletic Director A uniquely qualified leader with a vast knowledge of and passion for Syracuse University Athletics, former ESPN executive, John Wildhack, was named Syracuse’s 11th director of athletics in July 2016. At Syracuse, Wildhack leads the daily operations of a 20-sport athletics department with more than 600 student-athletes. During his tenure, he has worked diligently to create an environment that fosters academic and athletic excellence, which prepares student-athletes to be leaders in our global society. Those efforts have resulted in tremendous success both on and off the field. In Wildhack’s first two years, 25 teams have represented Syracuse at national championship events, including 23 NCAA competitions. The Orange have captured 16 ACC championships (two team, 14 individual) and two national championships during his tenure. Both national titles came courtesy of Justyn Knight, who won the NCAA Cross Country Championship and NCAA Indoor Championship in the 5,000-meter run during the 2017-18 academic year. Since his arrival on campus, Wildhack has overseen multiple strategic initiatives to ensure the future success of the department. Among the most impactful have been securing a $118 million investment from the University for enhancements to the Carrier Dome and the formation of an in-house production unit. Authorized by the Board of Trustees in May 2018, the $118 million in funds enables the University to move forward with Phase I improvements to the Dome, which include a new fixed roof, vertically-hung scoreboard, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems. The Syracuse Athletics Production team formed in the fall of 2017. In its first year, the group broadcast 91 live events and was responsible for more than 300 hours of content for the conference’s digital platform – ACC Network Extra. During his distinguished career at ESPN, which spanned more than 30 years, Wildhack held a number of leadership roles and was responsible for several firsts at the network. Those firsts included producing ESPN’s first live regular-season college football game in September 1984 and its first live NFL game in August 1987. Wildhack’s managerial role at the company began in 1990 when he was named director of event productions. In 1991, he was promoted to vice president for remote production, a position he held through 1993 when he became senior vice president for remote production. Before joining the Orange, Wildhack most recently served as the network’s executive vice president for programming and production. He was responsible for oversight of all ESPN and ABC game, event and studio production work for domestic and international television and radio, as well as programming acquisitions, rights-holder relationship management, and scheduling. He managed all league and conference relationships, negotiated all live sports television rights and was responsible for 50,000 hours of on-air content annually. A native of Buffalo, N.Y. and a 1980 alumnus of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a degree in telecommunications, Wildhack joined ESPN in its first year of operation immediately following his graduation. An active alumnus of the University, he sits on the Advisory Board for the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics and was an honoree at the “Newhouse at 40” Gala. He and his wife, Amy, have two sons, Tommy and James. John is also the father of a son, M.J. Tony White

Carla Williams Athletic Director Carla Williams was named Virginia’s director of athletics October 22, 2017. Previously, Williams served as an athletics administrator at the University of Georgia for 13 years and was named deputy director of athletics in 2015. During Williams’ tenure as an administrator at Georgia, its athletics teams won 16 NCAA team championships and 37 Southeastern Conference titles. With the appointment, Williams became the first female AfricanAmerican athletics director at a Power Five conference institution and is the fifth active female athletics director at that level. In her role as deputy director of athletics at Georgia, Williams was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department and its $127 million budget. She served as administrator for the Bulldogs’ football and Lady Bulldogs’ women’s basketball programs and also had supervisory responsibility for academic support services, business operations, compliance, event management, external operations, facilities and new construction, human resources, sports facilitators (21 sports and 15 head coaches), sports medicine, strength and conditioning, student services and ticketing. She helped to oversee $162 million in facility additions, upgrades and improvements for the UGA athletics program. Williams began her administrative career at Georgia in 2004. She served as associate athletic director (2004-2008), senior associate athletic director (2008-2011) and executive associate athletic director (2011-2015) before being promoted to deputy director of athletics. Prior to joining the Bulldogs’ staff, Williams was an assistant director of athletics at Vanderbilt (2000-03) and an associate director of athletics (2003-04). She oversaw 11 men’s and women’s sports as well as the Commodores’ CHAMPS/Life Skills program. From 1997-1998, Williams was coordinator for studentathlete development and life skills at Florida State. While completing her Ph.D. in sport administration, Williams was also a graduate assistant for athletic academic support from 1998-2000. Williams was instrumental in Georgia’s programming to enhance the lives of its student-athletes and prepare them for a life beyond athletics, including its comprehensive “The Georgia Way” program. She also helped build ties for Bulldog alumni, including the creation of UGA’s NFL alumni development program. NCAA and national organization committee membership are a big part of Williams’ resume. She served on the executive committee (2010-2014) for the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. She was a member of the Southeastern Conference’s executive committee (2009-2011), participated on the NCAA women’s basketball issues committee (2010-2014) and was an executive board member of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (2007-2009). A native of LaGrange, Ga., Williams was a three-year starter for the Lady Bulldogs from 1987-89. She finished her career with 1,115 points, 425 assists and 285 steals. Those tallies ranked No. 10, No. 2 and No. 3 among Georgia’s career leaders at the completion of her career. Williams was then an assistant coach on hall of fame coach Andy Landers’ staff from 1991-96, including teams which reached the 1995 and 1996 Final Fours, finished as NCAA runner-up in 1996 and won the 1991 and 1996 SEC Championships. Following the 1995-96 season, Williams moved into administration and served as UGA’s assistant director of compliance from 1996-97 before continuing her ascent up the administrative ranks at Florida State, Vanderbilt and Georgia. In May 2015, Williams was recognized by the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia as the Athens Woman of Distinction. That same year she was named one of the top-10 senior woman administrators in the NCAA by the website CollegeAD.org. Williams and her husband, Brian, who held the title of associate professor of public administration & policy in UGA’s School of Public & International Affairs, have three children: daughters, Carmen and Camryn, and a son, Joshua.

The Harrisonburg, Virginia native came back to the state following stints at Cincinnati, Missouri, West Virginia and Auburn. Babcock continues to make his mark on all facets of the athletics department, from fan engagement to facilities to fundraising and coaching hires. In fact, he received national acclaim for his work as an AD during the 2016-17 academic year, as he was one of five finalists for the AD of the Year honor handed out by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily. The 2016-17 academic year was tremendously successful for Virginia Tech under Babcock’s leadership. The Hokies won ACC titles in wrestling, men’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field and women’s outdoor track and field. The football program won its third straight bowl game, while the men’s basketball program under Buzz Williams - whom Babcock hired from Marquette in 2014 - made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade. The year saw three of Babcock’s coaching hires enjoy stellar first seasons at the helms of their respective sports. Justin Fuente earned consensus honors as the ACC Coach of the Year after guiding the football team to 10 wins, a Coastal Division crown and a thrilling Belk Bowl victory. Fuente succeeded legendary coach Frank Beamer, who retired after the 2015 season following 29 years as the head coach of the Hokies. Also, women’s basketball coach Kenny Brooks led the women’s program to 20 wins and a WNIT berth, and women’s lacrosse coach John Sung spearheaded a Hokie resurgence in that sport. Sung guided a program that tied a school record with 11 wins and was ranked as high as No. 12 during the season - the program’s highest ranking ever. Also, in 2016-17, Babcock tabbed former Maryland head baseball coach John Szefc to lead the Hokies’ baseball program. Szefc led Maryland to three NCAA berths in five seasons, while amassing 180 victories. In the previous year under Babcock, Virginia Tech won ACC championships in the sports of men’s outdoor track and field and wrestling. In that same year, eight teams qualified for NCAA postseason competition, with the track and field and swimming and diving programs also sending several individuals to the NCAA Championships. During the 2014-15 academic year, the Hokies won two ACC titles and seven teams qualified for NCAA competition. Over the past five years, both while at Cincinnati and Virginia Tech, Babcock has been active on the local and national speaking circuits. He has presented before the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) and the 1-A Athletic Directors Association annual institute. He is a past president of the National Association of Athletic Development Directors (NAADD). A student-athlete himself, Babcock lettered four seasons in baseball at James Madison University and served as team captain his senior year. He earned his bachelor’s degree from JMU in 1992. In 1996, he received his master’s in sports management from West Virginia University. He and his wife, Kelly, have three sons: Andrew, Brett and Eli. Justin Hamilton Defensive Coordinator

John Currie Athletic Director John Currie became Wake Forest’s sixth athletic director

in school history when he was named to the position on March 3, 2019. Currie is just the third individual to have held the position since 1964 following the 28-year tenure of Dr. Gene Hooks (1964-92) and Ron Wellman (19922019). Currie is a 1993 Wake Forest graduate who has served twice as an athletic director at the NCAA Division I level with leadership roles at Kansas State University from 200917 and at the University of Tennessee in 2017. A nationally-recognized leader in intercollegiate athletics, Currie has spent his career building a solid reputation as a fundraiser, builder of great facilities and an inclusive leader. In 2013, he earned the Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year and received the Bobby Dodd Athletic Director Award. In 2011, Currie was the named to the Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 list. Currie’s eight years at Kansas State were highlighted by unprecedented academic, athletic, and fundraising excellence. The Wildcats excelled on the field during Currie’s tenure. The football went to seven straight bowl games and won Big 12 championships in football (2012), men’s basketball (2013) and baseball (2013). A total of 17 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths with men’s basketball reaching the Elite Eight, volleyball getting to the Sweet 16 and the baseball team won an NCAA Regional. During his tenure in Manhattan, Kan., Currie initiated, designed, and completed $210 million in comprehensive facility improvements including the Vanier Family Football Complex, West Stadium Center, Ice Family Basketball Center, Intercollegiate Rowing Facility, and the Mike Goss Tennis Stadium – all funded without state tax, university tuition or fee dollars. In 2016, Kansas State’s Bill Snyder Family Stadium was one of five finalists for the Sports Business Journal Facility of the Year. As a fundraiser, Currie spearheaded the effort to secure a $60 million cash gift in 2014, the largest private gift in K-State history with $40 million allocated to academics and $20 million for athletics. While at Kansas State, Currie proved himself to be an accomplished personnel manager with numerous successful hires. Among Currie’s hires were Bruce Weber, the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2013 after leading the Wildcats to the Big 12 championship in his first season. In his six seasons with the Wildcats, Weber has led K-State four NCAA Tournament berths including an Elite Eight finish in 2018 while posting a 100 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR). Currie’s influence was felt in other areas as well. Academically, all Wildcat programs boasted multi-year APR marks of at least 944 with five teams, including football, posting the Big 12’s highest mark in 2016-17. He rebuilt Kansas State’s NCAA compliance programs and the Wildcats had zero major infractions.

Currie was named the athletic director at the University of Tennessee in 2017 and immediately bolstered UT’s commitment to Title IX and Clery Act compliance and education. He emphasized inclusiveness, quadrupling the number of female senior staff members and hiring UT’s first-ever female African-American assistant athletic director. Along with his efforts to restore the Lady Vol brand, Currie accelerated the planning process for the resumption of the first phase of the Historic Neyland Stadium Master Plan and earned unanimous board approval for an initial $180 million phase of an estimated $340 total million project. Currie and his wife, Mary Lawrence, are the parents of three children: Jack, Virginia, and Mary-Dell. Lyle Hemphill

George Kliavkoff PAC-12 Commissioner Kliavkoff (Klēē-ãv-cough), 54, brings unparalleled expertise and leadership in live sports and entertainment, fan experience, content creation and distribution, and navigating complicated environments. He comes to the Pac-12 Conference from MGM Resorts International, where he was president of entertainment and sports. Kliavkoff’s appointment was supported by a unanimous vote of all Pac-12 presidents and chancellors. His five-year contract begins July 1. “At each step of his career, George has navigated complex, quickly changing environments and has been a successful consensus builder. George is a visionary leader with an extraordinary background as a pioneering sports, entertainment and digital media executive, and we are delighted and honored that he has agreed to become our next Pac-12 Commissioner,” said University of Oregon President Michael H. Schill, chair of the five-member search committee. “He is the new prototype for a sports commissioner. While George has deep sports experience, his biggest asset is his ability to listen, connect with diverse groups, find common ground, collaborate and navigate an evolving landscape. We believe George’s overall skills and experience will become even more prevalent in college sports leadership.” “I am thrilled to be the Pac-12 Commissioner. This is a challenging time for intercollegiate athletics, but I believe these challenges also create significant opportunities,” Kliavkoff said. “I loved being a student-athlete, and I’m passionate about the doors that college sports and higher education open for young women and men. My job at the Pac-12 will be to help manage the balance between continued academic excellence, studentathlete well-being and an even higher level of athletic achievement.” In the coming weeks and months, Kliavkoff said he will meet with the athletic directors, coaches from a wide variety of men’s and women’s sports, faculty athletic representatives, and a diverse set of student-athletes to learn more about the conference and begin building relationships at each of the Pac-12 institutions. “The athletic directors in the Pac-12 look forward to working with George and supporting his success. As a student-athlete himself, George understands the challenges at all levels, including first and foremost from the student-athlete perspective,” said Bernard Muir, the Jaquish & Kenninger director of athletics at Stanford University. During his tenure at MGM Resorts International, Kliavkoff managed one of the largest live entertainment and sports businesses in the world and also oversaw the company’s sponsorship spend with professional and college sports leagues, conferences— including the Pac-12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments and the Pac-12 Football Championship Game—and teams. Additionally, he led the company’s global sponsorship sales efforts and sat on the board of BetMGM, one of the three largest U.S. sports betting companies. A proponent of women’s sports, he served as a member of the Board of Governors of the WNBA and managed the Las Vegas Aces WNBA franchise prior to selling the team earlier this year to Las Vegas Raiders Owner Mark Davis. In the media and entertainment space, Kliavkoff co-led the largest and most profitable division at Hearst Entertainment & Syndication, overseeing Hearst’s interests in cable television networks, including ESPN, A&E, Lifetime and HISTORY. He drove significant financial returns for Hearst by managing the purchase of a 50% stake in Mark Burnett Productions, which included signature programming such as Survivor, The Apprentice, Shark Tank, The Voice and The Bible, and then later negotiating a sale to MGM Studios. Kliavkoff was the first chief digital officer at NBCUniversal, where he set corporate digital media strategy and developed new business models and markets. At NBCU, Kliavkoff partnered with News Corp to incubate and launch Hulu, which became a top five U.S. video site within six months of launch. Kliavkoff served as the interim CEO of Hulu until the first full-time CEO was hired, and he served on the joint venture’s board. “One of the best hires I ever made,” said Beth Comstock, NIKE board member, the first female vice chair of General Electric and the former president of Integrated Media at NBCUniversal. “George is an inclusive team builder, consensus builder, thought leader and world-class collaborator. He’s brilliant at solving complex puzzles, again and again finding solutions that work for everybody.”

Dave Heeke Athletic Director Dave Heeke was named Arizona’s 13th Director of Athletics in February of 2017 and officially started in that role on April 1, 2017. A veteran in college athletics and the Pac-12 Conference, Heeke (pronounced Hee-key) has extensive experience in all aspects of the field, having served as Athletics Director at Central Michigan University for 11 years and in the Oregon athletics department for 18 years, finishing his tenure there as senior associate athletics director/chief of staff. Heeke has developed a wide-ranging understanding of college athletics that includes a number of vital roles. He has experience in department leadership, budget development, fundraising, compliance and sport supervision, among other areas. He has hired numerous head coaches in various sports and made very difficult changes when necessary. Heeke has also been heavily involved in facilities master planning and funding, as well as university and external relations. While Athletics Director at CMU, Heeke instilled his vision of a “Championship Culture,” which included athletic success, academic excellence, national media exposure, record fundraising, and a commitment to facilities. The department was twice honored with the Cartwright Award, which recognizes the Mid-American Conference’s top overall institution based on excellence in academics, athletics and citizenship. CMU earned the Reese Trophy, which honors the top MAC men’s athletic program, three times, and finished as the runner-up for the Jacoby Trophy, which honors the top MAC women’s athletic program, four times under Heeke’s leadership. In addition, the football program qualified for bowl games in eight of his 11 years at CMU, while the men’s basketball team won four MAC division championships and one overall title. Heeke is a nationally recognized leader among college athletics directors. He was appointed to the NCAA Division I Athletic Director Advisory Group in June of 2013. One of just 11 Division I Athletic Directors nationwide to be selected for the appointment, the group meets periodically with NCAA President Mark Emmert and his staff to provide feedback and perspective on issues affecting DI athletics. Heeke has also been a member of the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee and the Division I Football Issues Committee. Facility upgrades and renovations for all sports were staples under Heeke’s leadership at CMU, which were highlighted by his coordination of a private campaign for $22 million in renovations to the basketball arena and fitness center. Heeke also is uniquely skilled in the areas of external relations. In 2012, he negotiated a 10-year agreement with IMG for CMU’s multimedia rights. In 2009, Heeke announced an agreement between the athletics department and Adidas on an exclusive apparel and shoe contract. The contract marked the first time all of CMU’s varsity athletics programs were included in a single, all-encompassing apparel agreement. Then, in 2014, he negotiated a fiveyear extension of the all-sports apparel deal with Adidas. During Heeke’s 18 years at the University of Oregon, he assisted the athletics director with the daily operation of the Ducks’ $40 million budget and 17 sports. An East Lansing, Mich. native, Heeke received a bachelor’s degree from Albion College in 1985 and a master’s degree from Ohio State University in 1987. At Albion, he was a co-captain of the baseball team and a member of the club hockey team. He was a three-sport athlete at East Lansing High School and received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the East Lansing Educational Foundation in 2007. Heeke and his wife, Liz, have three boys, Ryan, Max and Zach.

Ray Anderson Athletic Director Ray Anderson was named Arizona State University’s Vice President for University Athletics and Athletics Director on Jan. 9, 2014. Anderson was named by Forbes Magazine as one of the 25 Most Influential Minorities in Sports in February 2016, noting that he had “helped position the Sun Devils as one of the most innovative brands in college sports”. While national trends lean toward downsizing athletics departments and eliminating non-revenue generating sporting programs, Anderson has made it his mission to not only add NCAA Division I sports at Arizona State, but expand educational and scholarship opportunities for future Sun Devil student-athletes. In May 2016, Sun Devil Athletics announced the reinstatement of the men’s tennis program at Arizona State – an act made possible through a $1M lead gift from Anderson himself and his wife, Buffie. This came just a month after Sun Devil Athletics announced a strategic alliance with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) to leverage the resources of a research-based University to grow the sport of tennis locally, nationally and globally. In November 2014, Anderson announced the addition of the Men’s Ice Hockey program, which was made possible through a record-setting $32 million donation, the largest in Sun Devil Athletics history. This gift provided mechanisms to fund the addition of both women’s lacrosse and women’s triathlon, which were both announced in the fall of 2015. The addition of these programs not only helps Arizona State maintain equity among scholarships, but also creates new opportunities to attract and retain diverse talent, both academic and athletically. Anderson has spearheaded a number of facilities projects in his first year at ASU, including the Sun Devil Stadium Reinvention and the baseball program’s move to Phoenix Municipal Stadium. He has also led a variety of community intiatives, such as the Honor Row for military veterans and the Sun Devil Caravan Tour, and continued to meet and exceed academic goals. He was recognized during the week of Super Bowl XLIX by the National Football League for his outstanding leadership with a desire to improving his community as he was presented with both the 2015 Paul J. Tagliabue Award and the John Wooten Lifetime Achievement Award, two of the NFL’s most prestigious honors. Anderson joined the Sun Devil Family after serving as the executive vice president of football operations for the National Football League (NFL) since August 2006. He served as the executive vice president and chief administrative officer of the Atlanta Falcons for four years, and began his professional career as an attorney at Kilpatrick & Cody in Atlanta, Georgia, where he worked primarily in labor law litigation. A Los Angeles, California native, Anderson earned a BA in political science from Stanford in 1976 and a juris doctorate degree from Harvard Law School in 1979. He was an all-league high school quarterback and shortstop, and a three-year football letterman and two-year baseball letterman at Stanford. Anderson co-founded the sports law practice at Heller, Ehrman, a prominent San Francisco firm, in 1980 and entered the sports agency business in 1984 when he opened the West Coast office for Sports Advisors Group. In 1987, he launched his own agency, AR Sports, specializing in the representation of NFL coaches and players and later adding Major League Baseball players. Anderson merged his agency with Octagon in 2001. As an indication of the high regard in which Anderson is held, he was appointed to the NFL Committee on Workplace Diversity and was named to Sports Illustrated’s list of the “101 Most Influential Minorities in Sports.” He was also named to the prestigious “100 Black Men of Atlanta, Inc.”, a group dedicated to providing support and improving the quality of life for African-Americans, and to the Board of Governors of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority. In April 2014 it was announced that Anderson would be a professor of practice in ASU’s new sports law and business program, a collaboration of the highly ranked Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and W. P. Carey School of Business. He and his wife, Buffie, have one son, Bryant, and one daughter, Kimberly.

Jim Knowlton Athletic Director

Jim Knowlton, who has established himself as a dynamic leader and accomplished administrator through service in intercollegiate athletics and the U.S. Army, is in his first year as Director of Athletics at Cal after formally moving into the role on May 21, 2018. Knowlton served as AD at Air Force for three years before to his move to Berkeley, and he previously spent seven years overseeing the athletic department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was named the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Athletic Director of the Year. Throughout his career, Knowlton has focused on and successfully fostered programs that place a premium on leadership and character development among student-athletes, coaches and staff. He has demonstrated an unfailing commitment to high achievement, both in academics and athletics, has a proven track record as a fundraiser, and has shown a consistent ability to take on complex challenges and develop strategic solutions to meet them. In addition to his tenure at Air Force and RPI, Knowlton is a former student-athlete and one-time faculty member at Army West Point, where also served as both a deputy director of athletics and interim athletic director at Army from 2003-06. At Cal, Knowlton becomes the school’s 24th director of athletics and oversees an athletics program that sponsors 30 sports and supports more than 850 student-athletes. Knowlton received his bachelor’s degree in engineering in 1982 from Army West Point, where he was a four-year letter-winner and captain of the varsity ice hockey team. After 10 years of organizational leadership positions of increasing responsibility in the U.S. Army, Knowlton received a master’s degree in civil engineering from Cornell University and returned to Army West Point in 1992 to teach. Knowlton’s career in athletics administration began as deputy director of athletics at Army West Point in 2003, where he oversaw more than 200 staff and supervised 25 intercollegiate teams with more than 1,000 student-athletes. After three years in the department, he left to become director of the Center for Enhanced Performance at West Point, leading a staff of 50 professionals who delivered training for peak performance in athletics, academics and military endeavors to cadets, soldiers and athletes both on and off campus. Knowlton began his tenure as the Air Force athletics director in March of 2015, and the Falcons soon experienced unprecedented success. During his first two years at the helm, Air Force teams combined for nine conference championships – the most during a two-year span in school history. During the 2016-17 season alone, Falcon coaches won six conference coach of the year awards and 38 cadets earned All-America honors. Air Force also led the service academies in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings for the sixth consecutive season. In 2017, Air Force began a series of renovations to Falcon Stadium for fans and football players alike, while additional upgrades were made to the locker rooms for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The improvements were made possible in part through two $5 million lead gifts, among others. Prior to Air Force, Knowlton served as director of athletics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., from 2008 until 2015. While that school primarily competes at the NCAA Division III level, it also supports Division I men’s and women’s ice hockey programs. Among his accomplishments, Knowlton helped develop a strategic vision for the athletic department, implemented a new branding strategy, and facilitated renovations to RPI’s field house, as well as construction of the $102 million first phase of RPI’s East Campus Athletic Village. For his efforts, Knowlton was chosen the Under Armour Division III Athletic Director of the Year in 2011. Knowlton also represented RPI on the national level, including on the NACDA Executive Committee, the board of College Hockey, Inc., and as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee. Knowlton is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia. He and his wife, Corey, have five sons: Jimmy, Patrick, Christopher, Mark and Shawn.

Rick George Athletic Director Rick George was introduced as just the sixth full-time athletic director in University of Colorado history on July 17, 2013, returning to Boulder where he helped play a role in the school’s first and only national championship in football some 23 years earlier. George, 57, came to Colorado from the Texas Rangers baseball club of the American League, where he was named chief operating officer on October 5, 2010 with a promotion to president of business operations in February 2013. He agreed to a 5-year contract at CU, and he officially started on the job on August 12, 2013. In June 2016, the Board of Regents approved a contract extension that carries him through 2020-21 academic and athletic year. His list of achievements in his first 1,000 days in the position were many, but none more significant than shepherding through a $156 million Athletic Complex Expansion from creation through fruition, gaining approval from the Board of Regents and then raising nearly one-half of the estimated cost to initiate construction, which began May 12, 2014. The project is the core of the Sustainable Excellence Initiative (SEI), the jewel of which was a long-awaited indoor practice facility. Once green-lighted, he spearheaded the most successful fundraising campaign in athletic department history, raising to date $95 million for the project. In his fourth year in the position (2016-17), 13 of CU’s 16 athletic teams were at one time or another ranked among the nation’s Top 25 (including all five in the fall; skiing is a coed program with combined rankings). Included in that group was the football team, as the Buffaloes returned to the national rankings for the first time in 11 seasons, in part due to George’s support of Mike MacIntyre as the program’s head coach and allowing him to follow through with his plan to bring the Buffaloes back to national prominence. All but one team competed in the postseason, most in NCAA Championships, with football making it to a bowl game for the first time in nine years and both basketball teams going to their respective NIT events. At the collegiate level, George worked in three major conferences (Big Ten, Big 8, Southeastern) in football operations, beginning with his alma mater, the University of Illinois, as football recruiting coordinator (1983-87). He graduated from Illinois in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts & Sciences Individual Study that had an emphasis on Sports Communication and Journalism. He was a four-year letterman at cornerback for the Illini, playing in 44 straight games and starting in 27 games in all, as he played two years each under coaches Gary Moeller and Mike White. He was a two-time recipient of the school’s Bruce Capel Award, given for dedication and courage to honor Capel who lost his life serving his country in Vietnam; George received the honor for his junior and senior seasons. Shortly thereafter, he left the Buffaloes for Vanderbilt University, where he was reunited with former CU offensive coordinator Gerry DiNardo, who was named the Commodores’ head coach a year earlier. In eight years at Vanderbilt (1991-98), he also served as associate athletic director for external operations in conjunction with overseeing the football program. This was where George first expanded his professional role outside of solely football, as he had oversight over all external departments, particularly in the area of managing budgets and developing marketing and promotional strategies for all sports. George was born April 3, 1960 in Woodstock, Ill., and graduated from Collinsville (Ill.) High School, where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He is married to the former Nancy Green, and the couple has two grown daughters, Jenni Reed (husband Tom) and Christi, and two granddaughters (Harper and Maddie). On July 19, 2017, George was named chair of the LEAD1 Association, which represents the athletic directors, programs and student-athletes of the 129 member schools of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). He immediately began serving a two-year term for the organization, as its mission includes influencing how the rules of college sports are enacted and implemented, advocating for the future of college athletics and providing various services to the members. He also serves on the Division I Council of the NCAA, and is part of the NCAA’s D1 Council Transfer Working Group.

Rob Mullens Athletic Director Rob Mullens has presided over one of the most successful eras in the University of Oregon’s history with Duck student-athletes setting milestone records both on the field and in the classroom. He has guided Oregon to consecutive top-10 finishes in the Directors’ Cup, including an all-time high of ninth place in 2016-17. The Directors’ Cup is a national assessment of an athletic department’s overall achievements, for the first time in school history. At the same time, Mullens has improved the Ducks’ academic standards to where the University now averages more than 100 academic all-conference selections annually. And just as important as the athletic and academic success, Oregon’s philosophy of fiscal efficiency during Mullens’ tenure has been recognized nationwide. The University is one of only a handful of institutions that is self-sufficient as the Oregon brand continues to grow. That is a direct reflection of our generous donors who continue to help us achieve important fundraising results. Those three pillars – student-athlete experience, academic excellence and broad-based competitive excellence – comprise the foundation of Mullens’ core beliefs as he oversees nearly 500 student-athletes and a budget of $110 million. Yet Mullens himself would tell you that it is the talented student-athletes, coaches and staff at the University of Oregon that are the department’s most valuable assets. Mullens was named the University’s 12th director of intercollegiate athletics on July 15, 2010, after arriving from the University of Kentucky, where he served as deputy director of athletics and managed day-to-day operations for Kentucky’s 22-sport athletics department, with an annual operating budget of $79 million.

Scott Barnes Athletic Director “Scott (Barnes) has demonstrated, everywhere he’s been, that he is committed to helping student-athletes be among the very best at whatever they chose to do academically and on the field. It was clear to me as we moved forward the person we needed to lead us where we aspire to go is Scott Barnes. He is a proven performer in exciting fans and alumni.” That statement was delivered by Oregon State University President Dr. Ed Ray as he officially introduced Barnes as the Beavers’ Vice President and Director of Athletics on Dec. 22, 2016. In Barnes’ relatively short tenure, OSU Athletics has already made significant strides academically and athletically. In his first two full years at OSU student-athletes have been selected to the Pac-12 Conference Academic teams 288 times, the department registered a record cumulative GPA in the spring (2018), the Valley Football Center officially opened and the popular Fan Experience Committee was created. In addition, he has increased the emphasis on fundraising and developing a sustainable business model that will ensure Beaver Athletics continues to progress and thrive, and debuted the BUILD THE DAM Strategic Plan to guide the program forward for future years. Barnes has made numerous strategic hires with the Beavers’ intercollegiate programs, including head football coach Jonathan Smith, head men’s soccer coach Terry Boss, head women’s rowing coach Kate Maxim, and head track and field/cross country coach Louie Quintana. “We are building for stability and sustainability in all of our programs, and to create a vision that excites and inspires all of Beaver Nation,” Barnes said. As part of the overall university administration, Barnes serves on several key committees and represents OSU at the Pac-12 Conference and NCAA levels. The two-time Far West Region Athletic Director the Year recently spent five years on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee (Chair for 2014-15). As of Feb. 1, 2018, he serves on the following Pac-12 committees: the Nomination Committee, the Director’s Revenue Share Committee, the Men’s Basketball Strategic Planning Committee, the Global Strategic Planning Ad Hoc Committee, and the Men’s Basketball Tournament Subcommittee. In addition, he is a faculty member on the Lead 1 Athletic Directors Association and in January 2018 he was one of four Director of Athletics in the country to visit Asia on a Nike sponsored trip. Barnes has spent nearly three decades in athletics administration, and is approaching 20 years as an athletics director. He arrived back to his native Pacific Northwest from the University of Pittsburgh, where he served as the Panthers’ Director of Athletics for nearly two years. Pittsburgh achieved high success academically and athletically that included bowl trips, conference titles and record academic achievements. Prior to Pitt, Barnes headed the Utah State University athletics program from 2008-15 as Director of Athletics and was promoted to Vice President in 2012. While at Utah State, the Aggies experienced unprecedented success that included multiple bowl trips in football, 20 league titles and a successful transition to the Mountain West Conference. Barnes has also served as the Director of Athletics at Eastern Washington University and Humboldt State University. In addition, he has held various athletics roles at the University of The Pacific, the University of San Diego, Iowa State University and the University of Washington. He also has experience in corporate business and professional basketball. The Spokane native graduated from Fresno State with a bachelor’s degree in 1986 and a master’s degree in athletics administration and physical education in 1993. A basketball letterman under coach Boyd Grant, he helped the Bulldogs advance to two NCAA Tournaments and two NITs. Barnes was a second-team all-conference player as a senior before playing professionally in Germany. He and his wife, Jody, have two children: Daughter, Milanna, and son, Isaac, a member of the Beaver men’s basketball team. In addition, the family dog is appropriately named Benny (OSU’s mascot is Benny Beaver).

Bernard Muir Athletic Director Bernard Muir was named Stanford’s Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics on July 27, 2012. Through six academic years under Muir’s leadership, Stanford has extended two of the most recognizable streaks in college athletics. In 2017-18, the Cardinal captured its 24th consecutive Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup, presented to the most successful intercollegiate athletic department in the nation. Stanford has also won at least one NCAA team championship in each of the last 42 academic seasons, the longest such streak in the nation. The 2017-18 campaign was especially memorable, with Stanford also finishing first in both the men’s and women’s standings of the Capital One Cup, which had previously never featured a dual champion in its eight-year existence recognizing cumulative top-10 finishes in both NCAA championships and final coaches’ polls. Combined with its latest Directors’ Cup achievement, Stanford became the first institution to sweep all three comprehensive national awards in the same year. In 2017-18, Stanford claimed four NCAA titles and five national championships overall for the second consecutive year. The Cardinal captured NCAA crowns in men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s swimming and diving, and women’s tennis, along with its eighth IRA women’s lightweight rowing title in the past nine seasons. Thanks to its four NCAA titles, Stanford increased its all-time total to 117, overtaking rival UCLA and concluding 2018 as the nation’s all-time leader in team championships. Stanford was equally prolific in the classroom, with 16 programs earning perfect 1,000 multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores, measuring data collected over a span of four academic years. Additionally, 17 varsity teams earned APR Public Recognition Awards while the department registered an overall graduation rate of 97 percent in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR). The third year of the Rubenstein-Bing Student-Athlete Civic Engagement (ACE) Program also yielded overwhelmingly positive results, as 20 student-athletes joined their peers from Duke in a threeweek, immersive summer service volunteer program with visits to South Africa, Vietnam, China and India. The Cardinal also was honored with 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, highlighted by Katie Ledecky’s selection as the Academic All-American of the Year. During Muir’s tenure, Stanford has won 14 NCAA championships and 21 national titles overall. Meanwhile, at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Stanford-affiliated athletes earned 27 medals, more than those from any other school. Since 2012, Muir has served as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, which oversees all administrative aspects of the NCAA tournament. He will chair the committee in 2018-19 after serving as vice chair for the 2017-18 season. Muir also is a member of USA Basketball’s 12-member Board of Directors for the 2017-20 quadrennium.

Martin Jarmond Athletic Director

Martin Jarmond was hired on May 19, 2020 as UCLA’s Alice and Nahum Lainer Family Director of Athletics, becoming the ninth athletic director in school history.

Jarmond came to UCLA from Boston College, where he served as the school’s Director of Athletics for three years. During his time there, he orchestrated the Eagles’ first-ever strategic plan, a comprehensive five-year goal to advance the program by fostering student-athlete formation, strengthening competitive excellence, increasing external engagement and enhancing facilities. The strategic plan was supported by BC’s first-ever athletics-only capital campaign, at the time, the largest campaign of any Atlantic Coast Conference institution at $150 million. The campaign has raised $121 million to date. Among the new ventures he brought to Boston College were a student-athlete fueling station, a program for first-generation student-athletes, and a fan council focused on improving the atmosphere and fan experience. Boston College teams enjoyed on-the-field success during his tenure, with the football team playing in a bowl game each season, the women’s lacrosse team reaching the national championship game in 2018, the 2019 women’s field hockey team advancing to its first Final Four, and the men’s and women’s hockey teams combining for three conference championships in the last two years. Among Jarmond’s successful coaching hires were women’s basketball coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee, who was named ACC Coach of the Year this season after leading BC to its best ACC finish in school history, and women’s volleyball head coach Jason Kennedy, who turned around a seven-win team and won 20 games in just his second year. Academically, Boston College continued to thrive under Jarmond’s leadership. The school ranks eighth in the nation with an overall Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 94% in all sports among Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools, with 12 teams scoring a perfect 100 GSR. Boston College also ranks among the highest in the nation in Academic Progress Rate (APR). Six Eagles teams recently received the NCAA APR Public Recognition Award, which is bestowed upon teams finishing in the top 10% of their respective sport, based on the multi-year APR. Included in those six was football, one of only 13 football programs at the FBS level to earn a Public Recognition Award, and one of only five to earn an award for the last three years. Prior to joining Boston College in 2017 and becoming the youngest athletic director of any Power Five institution at age 37, Jarmond previously served as deputy director of athletics at Ohio State, moving up the ranks after arriving as an associate athletic director for development in 2009. During his time at Ohio State, he was the lead administrator for a variety of sports, including football and men’s basketball, and directed external and internal relations and day-to-day operations. He also had responsibility for football scheduling, served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Committee, and was a member of the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship Advisory Group and the Rose Bowl Advisory Committee. As Ohio State Athletics’ chief advancement officer, Jarmond helped raise more than $120 million between 2010-2012. Jarmond was also an assistant athletic director for development for seven years at Michigan State, where he served on the athletic director’s executive leadership team. He was a key member of the $1.2 billion “Campaign for MSU” development team and a liaison between Michigan State’s university development and alumni association leadership. Jarmond recently served on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee and is on the John McLendon Minority Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors. In 2017 and 2019, he was named to Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40. A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jarmond, 40, earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. A two-year captain of the men’s basketball team, he led his team to the program’s first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2000 and earned Colonial Athletic Association All-Academic honors in 2001. He holds both a M.B.A. and a master’s in sports administration from Ohio University. Jarmond is married to Dr. Jessica Jarmond, a dentist. They have three daughters: Scarlett, Savannah and Serena.

Mike Bohn Athletic Director

Mike Bohn was appointed director of athletics on November 11, 2019. He holds the Charles Griffin Cale Director of Athletics’ Chair.

Bohn has more than 35 years of experience in collegiate athletics administration and an established record of integrity and strength in critical areas including compliance, recruiting and athletic excellence. He provides strategic and administrative oversight of the USC athletics department, including the university’s 21 women’s and men’s varsity teams. Prior to joining USC, he held leadership positions in athletics with the University of Cincinnati, University of Colorado, San Diego State University, University of Idaho and Air Force Academy. In his five-year tenure at the University of Cincinnati starting in 2014, Bohn oversaw dramatic improvements across the university’s intercollegiate sports, including a resurgence of its men’s football team and consistent NCAA Tournament appearances by the men’s basketball team. He emphasized academic performance as well, and 77% of student-athletes at the University of Cincinnati earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher during his final year. Bohn prioritized diversity in the athletics department and received a top rating from the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport for hiring female coaches. He also led a major renovation and expansion of the University of Cincinnati’s football stadium and oversaw improvements to its soccer, track and field, baseball and tennis facilities. Prior to Cincinnati, Bohn led the University of Colorado from 2005 to 2013, including its transition to the Pac-12 Conference. The university secured four conference championships in two years under his watch, and his emphasis on academics led to departmental records for GPA and APR, an academic progress metric for student-athletes. His department also earned acclaim for creating the first zero-waste stadium initiative in collegiate and professional sports in 2008. As athletic director at San Diego State University, Bohn increased fan enthusiasm and attendance, including setting the university’s single-game attendance record for football and the NCAA single-game attendance record for baseball. In his prior post as director of athletics at the University of Idaho, he led the university’s transition to Division I-A, the top collegiate football subdivision. He also spearheaded construction of a major athletics center and increased support for the university’s athletics scholarship fund. Bohn holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas, where he played quarterback for the Jayhawks football team and competed as a member of the baseball team. He earned his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University. Todd Orlando

Mark Harlan Athletic Director Mark Harlan, a veteran administrator with Pac-12 ties, was named director of athletics at the University of Utah on June 1, 2018. Harlan, who assumes the helm of Utah athletics after four years as the athletics director at the University of South Florida, brings more than 20 years of athletics administration experience at five universities to his new post. Prior to his appointment at USF in 2014, Harlan served as the senior associate athletics director for external relations at UCLA, senior vice president for central development at Arizona, senior associate athletics director at San Jose State and associate athletics director at Northern Colorado. Most recently, the Los Angeles native spearheaded record competitive, academic and fundraising accomplishments at South Florida, while also negotiating new multimedia rights and apparel partnerships. In his tenure at USF, the Bulls won 14 American Athletic Conference titles. Nine USF programs ranked in the top 25 in 2015-16 when the Bulls led the AAC in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings. The football program, which went 2-10 the year before Harlan’s hiring, surged to a 21-4 record in his last two years, including a school-record 11 wins in 2016. The Bulls made three straight bowl appearances from 2015-17–beating bowl opponents from the SEC and Big 12 in 2016 (South Carolina) and 2017 (Texas Tech). They appeared in the final AP poll for the first time in 2016, when they were ranked No. 19 in both the AP and Coaches’ polls. In 2017, Harlan hire Charlie Strong led the Bulls to a 10-2 record and a No. 21 final ranking. Other USF teams also excelled nationally under Harlan’s oversight. In 2015, the men’s golf and tennis teams reached the NCAA quarterfinals and round of 16, respectively—the best NCAA finishes in both programs’ history. Women’s basketball also appeared in the top 25 and played in the NCAA Tournament all four years with Harlan as the AD. Women’s soccer won its first conference title in 2017 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament three times, while the baseball team returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years in 2015. They both earned top-25 rankings, as did softball, men’s soccer and sailing. In the classroom, USF student-athletes set school marks for combined grade-point average and Graduation Success R ate (GSR). In the fall of 2017, USF opened the Fishman Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center, a $750,000 facility dedicated to academic achievement and student-athlete welfare. Under Harlan’s guidance, USF Athletics saw a 300-percent increase in major giving and had the best fundraising year in school history in 2016-17, attracting $15 million. His announcement of plans for a new $40-million on-campus football center was soon followed by an $8 million gift to athletics—the largest in program history. Harlan also negotiated a 10-year multimedia rights partnership with Tampa Bay Entertainment Properties, struck an eight-year partnership with Adidas as the official footwear, apparel and accessory brand of the Bulls and oversaw a restructure of the school’s athletic brand. He has been named to several influential committees and is currently serving on the NCAA Division I Council Transfer Working Group and the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee. He chaired the American Athletic Conference Athletic Directors Committee in 2017-18, and as the vice chair in 2016, played a key role in developing the conference’s strategic plan. As a former member of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission Executive Committee, Harlan assisted in bringing major events such as the CFP National Championship, NCAA Women’s Final Four and NHL All-Star game to Tampa Bay. Harlan came to USF after serving as the senior associate athletics director for external relations at UCLA from 2010-14, where his oversight responsibilities included the men’s basketball program, development, communications, marketing, ticket sales, sponsorships, multimedia rights and alumni affairs. While at UCLA, Harlan reorganized the structure of the major giving program and the annual fund, which resulted in a record number of donors and dollars raised in 2013. He successfully managed completion of a $137 million campaign to renovate iconic Pauley Pavilion in 2012. Harlan was also heavily involved in the negotiations with the City of Pasadena to enable a $200 million renovation of the Rose Bowl Stadium. Harlan left for UCLA after four years as the senior vice president for central development at the University of Arizona Foundation from 2006-10. Under Harlan’s direction, the Foundation posted two record years in funds raised and in the number of gifts processed on behalf of the university. He moved into central development at Arizona after over a decade working in the Wildcat athletic department. He held a variety of roles in athletics, serving as the assistant coordinator for football recruiting and operations (1992-94), program coordinator for event management (1994-97), director of operations (1997-2000), director of annual development (2000-02) and assistant athletics director for development and marketing (2002-04). Harlan’s background also includes one-year stints as senior associate athletics director for external operations at San Jose State (2005-06) and associate athletics director for external operations at Northern Colorado (2004-05). At SJSU, he launched a planned giving program that generated $8 million in estate gifts directed toward student-athlete scholarship endowments. At Northern Colorado, he played a key role in the school’s transition to NCAA Division I and the Big Sky Conference. Harlan, 48, earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in education from Arizona. He and his wife Carolyn have two children: Savannah (13) and Austin (10).

Jen Cohen Athletic Director Named the University of Washington’s 15th Director of Athletics on May 24, 2016, Jennifer Cohen has been with the UW for 20 years, primarily overseeing the athletic department’s fundraising efforts. In just two years under her watch, Cohen has led Husky Athletics to unprecedented success in the classroom, in competition and in the community. Additionally, Cohen secured a 10-year, $119 million apparel partnership with adidas that is set to get underway July 1, 2019. Most recently, Washington measured an Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 988. This marks the sixth consecutive year that UW’s overall APR rate measures above 980. Three Huskies programs earned NCAA public recognition for earning rates in the top 10-percent in their sport, including gymnastics, women’s tennis, and football, who charted the top APR rate in the Pac-12 for the first time. Highlighting the excitement on the field in Cohen’s first two years was a Pac-12 championship and trip to the College Football Playoff in 2016 for Husky football. UW hit the 10-win mark again in 2017, making its second trip to a New Year’s Six Bowl in as many seasons. Cohen is credited with bringing in Mike Hopkins to lead the Husky men’s basketball program in 2017. In his first season, Hopkins guided the squad to a 21-13 record – the biggest turnaround in a season since 1937-38. Additional coaching hires include Allan Murray (Men’s Golf), Jody Wynn (Women’s Basketball), Elise Ray-Statz (Gymnastics), Yasmin Farooq (Women’s Rowing), Maurica & Andy Powell (Cross Country/Track & Field). In the fall of 2016, UW volleyball – a perennial power – took home the conference title and played its way to an Elite Eight appearance. Last spring, men’s rowing won the James Ten Eyck Trophy as the overall points winner for the 11th time in the last 12 years before finishing runner-up at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) grand final, while the women’s team garnered a second-place finish at the 2018 NCAA Rowing Championships. The 2018 spring was as memorable on Montlake as many Husky fans can remember, as both the baseball and softball teams advanced to the College World Series. It was the first-ever trip for UW baseball, while softball – making its 13th appearance – played its way to the championship series. In Cohen’s two-year span, the Huskies have won a total of six Pac-12 championships. In their first season at the helm of their program, Mike Hopkins, Elise Ray-Statz and Yasmin Farooq all took home Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors. A native of Tacoma, she joined the athletic department staff in 1998 as an assistant director of development before moving to the university’s central development office to focus on fundraising efforts on behalf of the office of undergraduate education. She also spent time with the UW’s regional gifts program before returning to athletics to oversee the department’s major gifts program. Cohen and her team led the “Drive for Husky Stadium” campaign, in which the department raised over $50 million in gifts for the renovation of Husky Stadium, which was completed in August 2013. Cohen has also led development efforts for a number of other initiatives, including the renovation of Hec Edmundson Pavilion and the Conibear Shellhouse, the construction of the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility, the Husky Legends Center, Husky Golf Center and various scholarship endowments. A 1991 graduate of San Diego State University, Cohen earned her master’s degree in physical education with an emphasis in sports administration, from Pacific Lutheran University in 1994. Her professional experience includes a variety of roles in intercollegiate athletics administration at Pacific Lutheran, the University of Puget Sound and Texas Tech University. She and her husband, Bill, are the parents of two sons, Tyson and Dylan.

Patrick Chun Athletic Director

Patrick Chun was officially named Washington State’s Director of Athletics on Jan. 21. He became the 14th individual to lead Cougar athletics in school history and the first Asian-American athletic director to lead a Power 5 school. He has spent the past five and a half years leading Florida Atlantic University athletics and the previous 15 years at Ohio State University in a multitude of roles from 1997 through 2012, culminating as the executive associate athletics director. During his time at Florida Atlantic University athletics, Chun guided the Owls to unprecedented successes across academics, athletics, student-athlete development and fundraising. His top priority upon arriving at FAU was academics, which saw tremendous growth. Entering the 2017-18 academic year, FAU student-athletes have posted a combined GPA above 3.0 for each of the past four semesters, a first in school history. School records were also posted for Graduate Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Rate (APR) in 2016-17.

Chun’s focus on the complete student-athlete is highlighted by the 2016 National Association of Academic Advisors (N4A) Model Practices Award, awarded to FAU for displaying best practices in their programming for student-athletes. FAU was honored for its work with the football program. Along with the academic improvement, the FAU athletics department developed a comprehensive life skills program, featuring career services and a speakers program, as well as a concerted effort to provide community service to the South Florida area. Under Chun’s leadership, FAU athletics rose to some of its greatest heights, winning multiple championships, individual and team, and numerous national and conference awards. Owls’ football won its final 10 games of 2017 to finish 11-3 with a bowl victory over Akron while receiving votes in the final national poll. Entering the 2017-18 academic year, FAU athletics posted an overall winning record the previous three years while women’s volleyball, women’s soccer, beach volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, baseball and softball have either won conference championships, been ranked highest in school history or finished with winning seasons. The men’s and women’s diving teams, women’s track and field and cross country programs produced conference champions along with all-conference honorees. Chun has earned a reputation as an outstanding fundraiser with record successes at two institutions. At FAU, December 2, 2015, the university announced the largest single gift in its history, $16 million from the Schmidt Family Foundation. The lead gift is directed to the design and construction of a new athletics facility to be named the Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence. In addition to the naming rights gift, two separate $5 million naming gifts were included in the project for a sports medicine center and academic center. Construction began in the fall of 2017. Additional facility improvements at FAU during Chun’s time included the opening of the $800,000 FAU Tennis Complex, the addition of sand volleyball courts for the beach volleyball program and last fall the FAU Varsity Soccer Field opened following renovations and enhancements. Revenue generation has been at the forefront of initiatives for Chun. In August of 2013, FAU agreed to a 10-year agreement with Learfield Sports as its exclusive corporate sponsorship sales unit. The partnership is expected to generate $25 million in revenues over the life of the agreement. In 2015, FAU extended its agreement with Adidas for $1.2 million. On a national level, Chun currently serves on the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee. He also was named to the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) executive committee in 2016. Chun completed a three-year term on the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee from 2013-16. He also serves as a mentor in the NCAA Pathways program. Chun had previously served on the executive committee for the National Association for Athletics Development Directors (NAADD) and was a longtime board member for the Columbus, Ohio chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. In 2011, Chun was selected for the inaugural class of the Division 1A Athletics Directors Association Fellowship Program. Prior to FAU, Chun spent 15 years at Ohio State University working at his alma mater. During his tenure, he was promoted six times in the Department of Athletics, ultimately elevating to Executive Associate Athletics Director for External Relations. In his last role at Ohio State, Chun provided leadership and oversight for all facets of the external relations division from 2009-12. In the four years of overseeing the external relations division, Chun oversaw record fundraising years of $42 million in 2012, $41 million in 2011, and $39 million in 2010. Chun also was a lead member of the athletics department senior team that authored the then-largest multimedia rights deal in intercollegiate athletics history: a 10-year, $128 million partnership with IMG College in 2009. Chun also served as the daily administrative liaison with the football program. A native of Strongsville, Ohio, Chun earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio State University and a master’s degree from Duquesne University. He and his wife, Natalie, also an OSU alumna, have three daughters (Vanna, Kennedy and Gretta) who enjoy their dog (Little Brother).
