Ray Garvin is in his second year at ACU and in December 2014 was promoted to assistant director of athletics for compliance. Before his arrival at ACU, Garvin was the compliance and championships intern for the Western Athletic Conference. Garvin will continue to handle all aspects of ACU compliance, working with associate director of athletics for compliance and academics Sylvia Barnier in that capacity. His main responsibilities are to manage the preparation of ACU compliance reports, research and update compliance policies, and other jobs related to compliance and eligibility issues. He also interned for several months within the St. John’s University athletics department while pursuing an LL.M. in international and comparative sports law, which he received in June 2013. Garvin’s athletics compliance career started with a five-month internship at Houston Baptist. Following graduation from Texas Southern in 2009 with a B.A. in psychology, he began aiding the Harris County District Attorney’s office while enrolled at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law. One year later, Garvin moved into the private sector, serving as an administrative legal assistant
for the Law Office of T.J. Davis and The Robinson Law Group. Garvin earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law in May 2012 and soon afterward went to work for the St. John’s General Counsel Office. This job overlapped with his responsibilities for St. John’s athletics. His athletics background also includes two years of playing football for Chadron (Neb.) State in 2004 and 2005.
