Athletic Director Search

The President of Texas Tech University announces a nationwide search to recruit a new Athletic Director for a growing, dynamic university with an excellent athletic department.

Position Overview

Texas Tech University, a rapidly growing, comprehensive research university with an enrollment of more than 31,000 students, seeks dynamic, innovative leadership for its nationally prominent Division I athletics program.

Located in Lubbock, a growing metropolitan area of more than 200,000 that functions as the regional center for education, agriculture, healthcare, banking, business and the arts in West Texas, Texas Tech enters the second decade of the 21st century with opportunities for growth, academic advancement, and state and national impact that are unparalleled in its history.

The opportunities for athletics are equally exciting. Texas Tech is a member of the Big XII Conference, has the 3rd longest bowl appearance streak in Division I, and saw 12 of its 17 sports make the NCAA tournament last year.

At Texas Tech, intercollegiate athletics enjoys not only strong student, alumni, and community support, but also an administration committed to excellence in athletics as well as academics. Texas Tech President Guy Bailey sits on the Executive Committee of the Big XII Board and on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. Learn More >>
