Moleta accepts job with NCAA
MT Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Mike Moleta has announced his resignation and has accepted a position with the NCAA.
Moleta, who has served as MT's Associate Athletic Director for Compliance for six years, has accepted the position of Associate Director of Membership Services with the NCAA in Indianapolis.
"We will definitely miss Mike Moleta in the athletic department at Middle Tennessee because he was a difference-maker," Director of Athletics Chris Massaro said.
In his time at MT, the school improved its APR numbers across the board, including having 15 of its 17 sports score in excess of 950 on the most recent NCAA Report. 925 is considered a passing mark on a 1,000-point scale.
No one has been named to replace him in his position at MT, as of press time.
MT Marketing wins four awards
The National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators has selected its 2007-08 award winners and Middle Tennessee was chosen in four different categories and was the only Sun Belt Conference school honored.
The Blue Raiders won a Gold in the "Best of Student Promotion" category for Mardi Gras night where the big attraction was a parade made up of student organizations and alumni during halftime of a basketball game.
They earned a Silver In the "Best of New-Revenue Generating Idea" category for the Family Fun Zone to finish just behind Michigan. The Fun Zone is an area inside Floyd Stadium that was created to specifically target families with children activities like inflatables, face painting, and balloon artistry.
Finally, MT also captured Bronze awards for the "Best of Single Day Attendance Promotion-Football" and "Best of Ticket Sales Piece". The single day attendance promotion was for KidFest, which is a pregame hospitality function that includes a skills challenge, concert, and games, targeted toward young families.
The sales piece was a brochure designed by Bradley Lambert and Brad Smith geared toward group ticket sales and included football and men's and women's basketball. Illinois and Indiana grabbed the Gold and Silver in the category.
