IU President Michael McRobbie formally introduced Fred Glass as the next director of athletics at IU this morning at a press conference at the DeVault Alumni Center.
Glass, presently an attorney with Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels, said he was excited about the new position and laid out a general direction for the future of IU athletics during his tenure.
“I really think we need to have a vision,” Glass said. “It starts with comprehensive compliance. We’ve got to follow the rules, and we have to become known again for following the rules.
“Secondly, it’s about academic achievement. Kids need to go to class, they need to progress toward their degree and they need to graduate.
“Finally, it’s about athletic excellence. We’ve got to give our coaches the tools and the resources they need to be successful."
“If we stay focused on that, I think we’re really in for a new golden age of Indiana athletics.”
