Nicolette, Natalie and Noelle Not to be lost in the excellence on the field and in the classroom is the fact that UA student- athletes completed more than 1,600 hours of community service during his last three years. RESUME Most impressively, Rhoades led Akron to success while balancing the budget each of his 2006-09...... Akron last three years. In 2008-09, he implemented a zero-based budget, where coaches and unit heads Director of Athletics pre-planned spending in order to present a need-based budget proposal to the University Board 1999-2006...... UTEP of Trustees. With a proven track record of budget management and proactive steps, Rhoades gained support from University officials, allowing the Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director, Assistant AD for Development department’s budget to grow from $13.5 million to $19.2 million during his tenure. 1999-98...... Marquette With achievements like this under his belt, Rhoades’ selection was an easy one for University of Houston President/Chancellor Renu Khator. Athletics Advancement Officer “First and foremost, I wanted someone who is passionate about the University of Houston and UH athletics,” Khator said. “Winning games is 1997-98...... Yale important, but helping young people be winners in the game of life is essential. Mack Rhoades understands that this is what I expect.” Athletics Marketing Assistant Richard Scamell, a professor in the Bauer College of Business and the NCAA faculty representative on the search committee, said he was highly impressed by Rhoades’ credentials. ACCOMPLISHMENTS at Akron “I considered him as clearly the best choice to lead the department of athletics at the University of Houston at this time,” Scamell said. “He All-Conference Honors...... 213 MAC Player of the Week Honors...... 145 comes across as a ‘leads by example kind of person’; someone who is a team player, a good listener, a hard worker and a most sincere person. I All-Region or All-District Honors...... 32 believe our student-athletes, coaches, staff and the university community will enjoy working with him.” MAC Player of the Year Honors...... 14 His drive for perfection and expectation of excellence has quickly put his name on the map nationally. Rhoades served as a member of the NCAA Other MAC Year-end Individual Player Honors.....13 Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet — also serving on the Administrative Committee of that cabinet as well as leading the All-Americans...... 12 communications committee for the MAC. MAC Coach of the Year Honors...... 11 Since Rhoades began his duties at Akron in late January 2006, Freshman All-Americans...... 6 the numbers alone spoke for themselves: 765 total Dean’s List Academic All-MAC Honors...... 83 CoSIDA Academic All-District...... 7 honors, 213 All-Conference honors, 83 student-athletes named Academic All-Conference, 20 team championships won, 14 Conference Players of the Year and 12 All-Americans to name a few. Such improvements were attributed to a number of policies the athletics department instituted under Rhoades’ leadership. Notably, Akron implemented an academic review process to ensure academic success of potential student-athletes, a class attendance policy and a student-athlete Code of Conduct. He additionally restructured the Student-Athlete Support Services and Academic Advising units, adding 11 positions during his tenure. All policies were enacted to complement the department’s new mission statement and core values that placed an emphasis on student-athletes getting the best possible experience while earning a degree. To do that, Rhoades engaged the student-athletes during his first three years, getting them involved through an emphasis of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the CHAMPS/Life Skills program and doing more to recognize student-athletes for their successes both on and off the field. On the business end of the spectrum, Rhoades played a key role and was chairperson on the steering committee in the Zips’ new on-campus football and multi-use facility — InfoCision Stadium/Summa Field — which opened in September 2009. The 30,000-seat venue will not just be alive for six or seven football games each season. The facility will be used year-around thanks to its three levels of academic space for the University, extra locker rooms for high school football use and an end zone facility with a full-service sports medicine center and locker rooms/team space for four sports programs. He also oversaw vast improvements to all facilities. James A. Rhodes Arena enjoyed new office space for all programs and units, expansion and renovation of academic services, a volleyball office suite, an academic advising suite, a media work room and locker room upgrades for all basketball programs. Lee Jackson Field Complex saw the creation of a new softball facility allowing the program to play on campus, resurfacing the baseball field and enhancing the dugouts, renovation to the soccer field and renovation of the track & field complex, refurbishing the track surface, adding 1,500 permanent seats and ornamental fencing. The key in all these upgrades and new office spaces came after the second phase of the Stile Field House project. At a cost of $2.6 million, the facility housed a state-of-the-art office suite and meeting rooms for the

football program as well as new office suites for the baseball, softball, men’s soccer, 2009 2009 women’s soccer and track & field/cross country programs. The field house also welcomed a new program under Rhoades’ watch with the creation of the women’s golf program, which shared the state-of-the-art indoor practice facility with the UA men. The women’s program began play in the fall of 2008 and placed runner- S

up three times in its inaugural season (including its second-ever event) and was third at its EA first MAC Championship.

Financial success has not been limited to just dollars from the University. SON One of his first actions after being named athletics director was fostering a deal with ISP, one of the top sports marketing groups in the nation, that saw sponsorship revenue increase by $100,000 each year. UA football went from reporting an average of approximately 5,000 fans per game to going beyond the NCAA-required 15,000 in each of his three years. And, with the addition of InfoCision Stadium, revenue and season ticket sales for 2009 already were at an all-time high. Also, men’s basketball season ticket sales increased each year, while the success of the men’s soccer team brought on the demand for season-ticket packages for the first time in 2009. Membership and donations to the Z-Fund, the scholarship and fundraising arm of the athletics department, showed dramatic increases. Membership grew from just under 400 to over 1,700, while unrestricted giving increased to $353,000 and total giving for 2008-09 is at $2.3 million. A restructuring of the external relations office also paved the way for a licensing and merchandise to grow on campus, in local stores and online. Revenue across the three mediums increased by 64 percent or nearly $20,000 per year. The 43-year-old Rhoades increased staffing levels across the department, adding 10 full-time assistant coaches and created more than 30 full-time and graduate assistants positions within the department. Rhoades came to Akron after a seven-year stint at UTEP, where he most recently served as the executive senior associate athletics director. He worked his way up the ranks with the Miners after joining the staff as assistant AD for development. In his final role with UTEP, Rhoades oversaw all fundraising, the marketing and media relations offices as well as football external operations, men’s basketball, men’s golf, licensing, Miner Athletic Club and the athletics ticket office. While at UTEP, Rhoades administered the Athletic Major Gift Program, through which $9.1 million was raised. He also was instrumental in increasing marketing revenue from $800,000 to $1.33 million in just four years. In addition, he guided UTEP to being among the conference leaders in attendance for football and men’s basketball. In 2004-05, the UTEP Miners averaged 41,209 fans for football and 10,405 for men’s basketball. During the 2005 campaign, the Miners led football attendance in Conference USA, averaging more than 47,000 fans per game. The UTEP football program enjoyed a resurgence during his last two seasons, posting a 16-7 record over that span and reaching consecutive bowl games, including the 2005 GMAC Bowl. Under Rhoades’ supervision, the men’s basketball team registered 51 victories during the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons - the 13th-best win total in the nation over that span. The men’s golf program finished in the top three at the Western Athletic Conference Championships in three of four years, including a runner-up showing in 2002. Rhoades’ licensing responsibilities included supervising the implementation of new department of intercollegiate athletics logos and color changes, resulting in a 300-percent increase in merchandise sales. The native of Tucson, Ariz., also had a hand in directing the transition in management of season ticket sales from the University Ticket Center to the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. He engineered season and individual ticket price increases for football and men’s basketball in each of his last two years. Rhoades’ other duties at UTEP included negotiating football and men’s basketball television and radio contracts; serving as an athletics department spokesperson through all media outlets; assisting in all aspects of budget-plan- ning; and aiding in the development of a comprehensive strategic plan for intercollegiate athletics. He also oversaw the speed, strength and conditioning program, served as a liaison with the Miner Athlete Aca- demic Center and was a member of the UTEP NCAA Certification Steering Committee. Rhoades was heavily involved in athletics facility upgrades at UTEP, including the construction of the $11 million Larry K. Durham Sports Center which houses state-of-the-art football coaches’ offices and locker rooms, as well as a training room and strength and conditioning center for all sports. He was also responsible for the creation of Miner Video Production for all home football and men’s and women’s basketball games. Prior to his stint at UTEP, he worked for 15 months at Marquette, where he was the athletics advancement officer. In that role, Rhoades oversaw all external operations for the Office of Athletic Advancement and the Blue & Gold Athletic Scholarship Fund. Rhoades worked for one year as an athletics marketing assistant for Yale, where he developed marketing plans for football, men’s basketball, men’s ice hockey and the NCAA Fencing Championships. Additionally, he obtained sponsorship agreements for Yale Athletics. A graduate of the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in physical education, Rhoades later attended Indiana University where he earned his master’s degree in sports management and marketing. He and his wife, Amy, have three daughters — Nicolette (15), Natalie (13) and Noelle (11).
