New AD

From UNCG Sports' Twitter page:

UNCG chancellor Linda Brady has called a Friday, 12 noon news conference to announce Kim Record as the new Director of Athletics.

Spartan All-Access will be carrying the press conference live. Here is the link to the article.

This is from the N&R story:

Record has been a consultant with International Sports Properties for the past year after working for 13 years in athetics adminstration at Florida State.

At Florida State, Record oversaw the Seminole men's and women's basketball teams and soccer programs. Her responsibilities also included coordination and oversight of all multimedia contracts and overseeing the areas of sports information, sports marketing and video. She left there as senior associate athletics director.

Also, Friday is Blue & Gold Day. So far on previous Blue & Gold Days, UNCG announced they were moving to the Greensboro Coliseum (12/5/08) & played Davidson (2/5/09) in front of 11,000+ fans. Anyone seeing the trend here?

"UNC-Greensboro: It's a new era in Greensboro. Your threats

He is your Spartan Salvation."
