VICE PRESIDENT-DIRECTOR OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
RANDALE L. RICHMOND THIRD SEASON
Randale L. Richmond was formally introduced as the 12th Athletic Director at Kent State University on April 9, 2021. He began his tenure as Athletic Director on May 1, 2021.
This is Richmond’s second stint at Kent State University. He previously spent 10 years with the Golden Flashes working in Student-Athlete Academic Services and Compliance. Richmond started as a graduate assistant before serving as an Assistant Director of Compliance starting in 2006. He was elevated to the Assistant Athletic Director of Compliance in 2010, then promoted to Associate Athletic Director of Student-Athlete Academic Services & Compliance in 2012. Richmond served in that role until 2015 when he was hired by Old Dominion University.
Richmond arrived at Old Dominion University in February of 2015 as the Sr. Associate Athletic Director for Sport Administration and Student-Athlete Welfare. In that role, he was responsible for the leadership, oversight, and supervision related to StudentAthlete Academic Services, Leadership Development, and NCAA Compliance. He also served as the Sport Administrator for the men’s basketball, field hockey, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s and women’s swimming programs. During his oversight of those sports, he had a direct impact in fundraising and program enhancement, raising over $1.5 million dollars and increasing the men’s soccer’s fundraising efforts over 500%. In addition, Richmond served on a number of campus committees, including the Brother 2 Brother Steering Committee and the President’s Task Force on Inclusive Excellence where he served as the co-chair. He took the lead on developing and enhancing numerous programs at Old Dominion including the revamping of the Monarch’s Competitive Excellence Plan and the implementation of a Sport Administration Executive Summary, which is designed to track each sport’s success in terms of the goals set in the Old Dominion strategic plan. He also started the New Employee Welcome Plan which helps new employees experience early success and provides connections with current employees.
During his time at ODU, Richmond successfully led the department through a NCAA Academic Performance Program Review, a Conference USA (C-USA) Compliance Audit, as well as an internal Institutional Control Review. Under his leadership, ODU implemented a number of progressive student-athlete programs, including its first ever Student-Athlete Leadership Academy. The Monarch Athletic Department achieved all-time highs in Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores, Graduation Success Rate (GSR) scores, and department Grade Point Average (GPA). ODU led Conference USA in Commissioner’s Honor Roll recipients in each of his final four seasons with the Monarchs.
