Today, our class was fortunate enough to have a faculty member here at the university to speak. Bill is the Athletic Director and Head Baseball coach at the university. I learned a lot of information about both the college and the NAIA.
First off, I am going to give a little background on him. After attending West Georgia, he finished his collegiate career at Kennesaw State where he played baseball and earned a degree in Sports Management. He then became a head coach at Oglethorpe and was there for 12 years before coming to Reinhardt. He has been at RU for 7 full years now and has served as the AD for 6.
He explained what all he actually does as an AD. Some of the issues he deals with is budgeting for the whole department. Budgeting is a key factor for any organization and he reported that the RU department has been operating below budget for two years now. Also, he has to deal with eligibility issues. The eligibility process is a very tedious one and is one of the most important subjects he has to deal with. AD duties are broad and you have to know how to do a lot of things. Along with explaining his duties, he also provided a considerable amount of information regarding the NAIA and that the organizations future is BRIGHT!
