It has been announced that UNCG Athletic Director Kim Record has resigned effective today, Friday, Sept. 3.
A letter from UNCG Chancellor Frank Gilliam states, “After 12 years, Kimberly Record is stepping down as Director Of Intercollegiate Athletics at UNC Greensboro as of September 3.”
Gilliam’s letter gives no indication of why Record resigned effective immediately or why she resigned at all.
Most of Gilliam’s letter sings Record’s praises and goes into detail about the success of her tenure as UNCG athletic director.
Gilliam states, “During her tenure, Kim has guided UNCG to success on and off the court, with 15 SoCon championships in our various sports over the last 12 years, including five teams winning Southern Conference championships in 2017-18, with four of those teams advancing to their respective NCAA Tournaments. In addition, UNCG’s student-athletes have regularly earned some of their highest GPAs ever during Kim’s tenure.”
Gilliam also states, “In addition to making an impact at UNCG, Kim is a nationally well-respected administrator and has often been consulted by fellow Athletic Directors in our conference on national issues.”
And he praises Record for her fundraising ability stating, “Kim was also instrumental in helping drive the UNCG Athletics’ Campaign for Champions, a fundraising campaign-initiative to transform student-athlete academic and support facilities, and to recruit and retain top coaches to lead UNCG’s 17 Division I athletic teams. Over $3.1 million has been raised to date.”
Gilliam states that Executive Associate Athletic Director for External Operations Keven Bostian will serve as interim director of intercollegiate athletics and that a national search will be launched to search for a new athletic director.
UNCG’s head basketball coach Wes Miller left in April to become the head coach of the University of Cincinnati basketball team. Miller had been at UNCG for 10 years and had 20-win seasons in each of his last five years.
Make sure to include an irrelevant line about a white guy that had slightly above mediocre success at the end of the story.
Yeah, at least it wasn’t some Mexican.
Bahahahahaaaaaa!! Who cares what race they are/were. Coaches come in one color – human.
Rebuilt the program after Mike Dement left. Four regular season conference champs. Left as the winningest coach in UNCG history. Named the #1 best coach under 40 in America by ESPN. Apparently Cincinnati disagrees with you.
Kim Record was a fine Ambassador of the University in the entire Greensboro community!
She was racist! Justice finally served!
She was a racist! Justice Served! Too many kids were unjustly treated and hurt as a result!
Deleting this post makes you complicit and no different than her which wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Seems like this is what America has become!
If they even hinted she might be white, someone always brings the race card when they leave. If this were true, why hasn’t it been mentioned before. And don’t say it’s a systemic problem at a libtard university. We ain’t buying it.
Why do we waste tax dollars on sports programs at state sponsored schools? A total waste of money that mainly benefits the most well to do in our society and doesn’t benefit anyone else.
I say the same thing about “professional sports” Why do we piss away money on a frivolous game that is intended to be a recreational activity? Multi-million dollar contracts to ruin some kids health in the prime of life. Get a real job and play on your own time! Even worse when taxpayers are on the hook at universities.
Why is there a necessity to always have someone bring up race when grown people are taking.There is a certain amount of jealousy shown!!!! Why can’t you Juan get out and make a difference with young people and teach them we,in America are just human ,we are a flawed nation and just maybe if we work and teach our young to work we wound so much better off. This philosophy that the Democrats are espousing will only destroy our economy and nation.Please help by not being negative all the time and present a positive approach to life just once in a while .I have met the coach on one occasion and he seems to care about his players regardless of their color .
