A proven athletics administrator with experience at some of the nation’s finest collegiate programs, Parker was hired on March 17, 2015 by CSU President Dr. Tony Frank. Parker, who had been the deputy athletics director at Texas Tech of the Big 12 Conference since April 2011, also has served as senior associate & ROSTER SEASON OUTLOOK A.D. at the University of Michigan (Big 10), the University of Oklahoma (Big 12), Washington State University (Pac-12) and the University of Texas (Big 12). In Parker’s first three-plus years in Fort Collins he has skillfully and thoughtfully guided the athletics department and the university through the construction of Colorado State’s 41,000-capacity multipurpose stadium, which opened on-time and on-budget for the 2017 football season and hosted a school-record 32,062 fans per game. The state-of-the-art facility houses all aspects of the Rams’ football program and includes general classroom space, the Collaborative for Student Achievement and the Iris & Michael Smith Alumni Center. Parker has led the department of athletics through the successful process of selling out all premium seating inventory in the stadium. Comprised of private suites, loge boxes, indoor club and outdoor club seating, the entire premium seating inventory sold out in October 2016, nearly a year before the stadium’s opening. Season ticket sales reached a record of 15,500 for the 2017 season and memberships had sold out by May 2017 to the stadium’s two unique VIP areas—the New Belgium Porch and Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies Field Club. In April 2018, Parker and CSU President Dr. Tony Frank announced a $37.7 million naming rights partnership with Public Service Credit Union, which was in the process of re-branding to Canvas Credit Union, ushering in the name Canvas Stadium on June 5, 2018. All of the announced BIOGRAPHIES PLAYER partnerships by prominent Colorado companies illustrate the tremendous connection between the university and the community, and demonstrate great enthusiasm for partnering with Colorado State and investing in its future. Since beginning his tenure in Fort Collins, Parker has overseen tremen- dous success by the Rams’ athletics programs in competition, and con- tinued growth of Colorado State Athletics. CSU boasted 10 All-America awards and one individual NCAA champion (Mostafa Hassan, indoor shot put) in 2017-18. Eight of the Rams’ 16 athletics programs finished in the top 3 of the Mountain West, and 11 participated in postseason competition. In 2016-17 the Rams had the MW’s highest average finish (3.94) across 2014 SEASON REVIEW its 16 sport programs, claiming three conference championships and six second-place finishes. The Rams were represented in 10 NCAA postsea- son competitions, and including the two basketball programs competing in their respective National Invitation Tournaments and football’s bowl game, 13 of the 16 CSU athletic programs wrapped up their year in post- season events. CSU’s volleyball and women’s basketball programs both went unde- Joe Parker was introduced as the director of athletics at feated in their 18 Mountain West contests during the 2015-16 academic Colorado State on March 17, 2015. year, making CSU just the fourth school in NCAA history to have dual undefeated conference seasons, and the first time in school history. The CSU football team has qualified for its third, fourth and fifth consecutive bowl games since Parker’s hire, and the Rams have claimed 11 total MW championships under his leadership. RECORD BOOK In Parker’s tenure he also has signed an extension of Colorado State’s multi-year agreement with Under Armour to be its official apparel provider through 2021, as well an enhanced, long-term multimedia rights partnership with Learfield, both of which position Colorado State for continued growth in its profile and stature nationally. During Parker’s time as deputy A.D. at Texas Tech he oversaw a Big 12 Conference program with 17 teams and an annual budget of $68.5 million. Under Parker’s leadership in building excitement and engagement among Red Raider fans, the university achieved first-ever sellouts for football season tickets and broke attendance records in football, men’s basketball and baseball. In addition, Parker was involved in all Title IX and Gender Equity issues at Texas Tech. During his tenure as deputy A.D., Parker also led programs to boost the classroom success of student-athletes and led the development and launch of a $185 million fundraising campaign. At Michigan, highlights of Parker’s eight-year tenure (2003-11) included serving on a four-per- son team that was responsible for more than $400 million in infrastructure improvements, in- cluding the renovation and creation of new revenue opportunities at Michigan Stadium, known as “The Big House.” Parker helped secure $14 million in annual gift revenue and more than $31 HISTORY million in major gifts to support the stadium renovation project, lauded as one of the premier renovation projects in the country. Parker joined his alma mater in 2003 as associate athletics director for development and was promoted in 2006 to senior associate athletics director for development and corporate relations. At the University of Texas (1994-98), Washington State (1998-99) and the University of Okla- homa (2000-03), Parker led successful efforts in annual giving, season-ticket sales and premi- um seating programs, and also was involved in facilities development and renovation projects. While with the Sooners, Parker provided leadership support for a $120 million capital cam- paign for athletic facility improvements. Additionally, he designed and implemented a new pre- mium seating program, which funded 70-percent of the $75 million football stadium renovation. MISCELLANEOUS Parker was a three-time All-America swimmer at Michigan, and also became team captain. He earned a gold and bronze medal as a senior in the 1987 World University Games in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. Parker earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from Michigan, and an M.B.A. from the University of Texas. He and his wife, Jen, have two children, Emma and Will, both of whom are students at Colorado State. @CSUFOOTBALL 21 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JOE PARKER WHAT THEY HAVE SAID ABOUT JOE PARKER... Kirby Hocutt, Texas Tech Athletics Director “I am very excited for Joe, Jennie, Will and Emma on their new opportunity at Colorado State University. Joe is one of the most talented and thoughtful administrators in the nation, and I could not be more appreciative of his friendship, hard work, and dedication to Texas Tech athletics over the past four years. His day-to-day leadership has been an in- strumental part of our progress and Texas Tech athletics is better today because of the important role he has played within our department. President Frank and Colorado State have made a tremendous hire and one that will provide strong leadership for their athletics department. I know the CSU coaches, athletics department staff and community will enjoy getting to know Joe Parker and his wonderful family.” Kliff Kingsbury, Head Football Coach, Texas Tech “Joe Parker is one of the most impressive individuals I have ever had the privilege of working with. His passion for the well-being of the student-athlete is unparalleled. Colorado State has hired an incredible athletics director and an even better man. He will be sincerely missed here at Texas Tech, and we wish him and his family nothing but the best.” Marsha Sharp, Texas Tech Retired Women’s Basketball Coach & 1993 National Champion in WBB “All of us at Texas Tech will hate to lose Joe Parker, but we couldn’t be more excited for him and this new opportu- nity. Joe is a man of solutions. He is thoughtful, fair and a good listener and that approach allows him to discover solutions. Joe will do a great job as the athletics director at Colorado State.” Jeff Long, Former Vice Chancellor & Director of Athletics, University of Arkansas “Joe Parker is an outstanding athletics administrator. He possesses the experience, intelligence and concern for the student-athlete that are vital to successfully lead an FBS intercollegiate program today. Having worked at some of the finest academic and athletic institutions, Joe is exceedingly prepared to lead Colorado State University.” Joe Castiglione, Vice President & Director of Athletics, University of Oklahoma “I’ve had the great fortune to have first-hand experience working with Joe Parker as part of our athletic program here at Oklahoma and closely following his continued growth in our industry. From his background as a student-athlete to his accomplishments as an administrator, it’s really exciting to see a real life example of preparation meeting opportunity. This is a true success story. Colorado State University has hired a dynamic leader with great skills and impeccable integrity who will build great relationships with stakeholders and collectively create a wonderful environ- ment for student-athlete achievement in the classroom and their athletic endeavors. We are grateful for all of Joe’s contributions to Oklahoma and happy for him, Jennie, and their entire family.

He’s the only coach with at least 200 NFL wins in the regular season who isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Marty made bad teams good, and good teams better over the course of a coaching career that lasted more than 30 years. He has a better winning percentage than Chuck Noll, Tom Landry and Marv Levy – all Hall of Famers. “He not only won everywhere he went, but he won immediately everywhere he went,” wrote Ernie Accorsi in the forward to Schottenheimer’s autobiography. “That is rare, believe me.” The blemish in his resume is that he didn’t win the next-to-last game of the NFL season, let alone the last game. The easy comparison is to Chuck Knox, another fine coach from Western Pennsylvania who won a lot of games but never took that last step either. In other words, Schottenheimer never made it to a Super Bowl as a head coach. Even so, he ranks with the best in the coaching business in his time. Martin Edward Schottenheimer was born on September 23, 1943, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. That’s about 22 miles from Pittsburgh to the southwest.
