Ross Parmley Named Tulsa Athletic Director

The University of Tulsa named Ross Parmley its full time athletic director Thursday, removing the interim tag from his job title.

“With the rapidly changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics –– NCAA reform, conference realignment and television –– it became more important that permanent leadership of the department was needed,” said President Steadman Upham. “Over the past several years, Ross has handled positions with increasing levels of responsibility and has demonstrated his ability as a leader and administrator. After watching Ross the past few months as interim athletics director it was an obvious decision to name him our Director of Athletics.”
