When Rick Hart came to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, he brought with him a vision and plan for the future of the Mocs. Over the last five years, Hart has changed the landscape of the UTC Athletics Depart-ment with his leadership, organizational skills and inno-vative ideas on how to fulfill the Mocs’ mission of prepar-ing students for productive and meaningful lives. Since his hiring on May 23, 2006, Hart’s efforts have made a tremendous impact on the Mocs student-athletes’ quest for comprehensive excellence – academically, athletically and socially.

Academically• Shown continuous improvement in the overall grade-point-averages for student-athletes in each of the last six semesters - highlighted by a 2.97 g.p.a. in the spring of 2011, the highest semester mark for the Mocs.• Over half of the Mocs’ student-athletes made the Athlet-ic Director’s Honor Roll each of the last four semesters. • Developed and implemented an ambitious APR im-provement plan that has increased the APR scores of all Mocs athletics programs. • Added staff to both the Compliance and Academic Ser-vices departments to help student-athletes progress to-ward the ultimate goal of earning a college degree.

Athletically• Captured 17 regular season and 19 tournament cham-pionships in the Southern Conference over the last five seasons, more than any other SoCon school.• In 2008-09, Chattanooga posted school records with five teams competing in the NCAA Championships and 10 squads represented in the postseason. • Set a school record in 2009 with a 99th place finish in the NACDA Learfield Director’s Cup that measures the overall success of all Division I athletic programs. Three of the Mocs’ top-5 all time finishes in the NACDA Direc-tor’s Cup have come in Hart’s tenure. • Captured UTC’s first Germann Cup in 2007-08, signify-ing the best all-around women’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • 20 student-athletes selected as SoCon Athletes of the

Year while five Mocs have been named the SoCon Fe-male Athletes of the Year.

Socially• Encouraged Chattanooga student-athletes in their in-volvement with many local community projects and char-ity work and has personally served as a member of the Chattanooga Rotary, the Grand Marshal of the 2007 Re-gion 4 Special Olympics and is a sought-after speaker among the area’s many civic organizations. • Cultivated and maintained relationships with local and national press that has led to unequalled media attention for a program of this size. • During the men’s basketball NCAA Tournament run in 2009, the NBC’s “Late Show with Jimmy Fallon” adopted the Mocs as its team of the tournament. The week-long exposure brought in an estimated $500,000 of advertis-ing and national exposure for UTC. • Expanded educational programming for student-ath-letes, coaches and staff as part of a commitment to learn-ing and personal and professional development. • Focused attention on strengthening the relationship be-tween Mocs Athletics and the UTC campus community.

Hart has also been very successful in the traditional roles as UTC Athletics Director. In an effort to ensure efficient and effective management of all elements of the athletics program, and to better align athletics with the academic mission of the institution, Hart developed and installed the Strategic Plan for UTC Athletics. A focus on the student-athlete experience has resulted in increased ticket sales and fundraising, innovative partnerships, improved athletics facilities and the addition of quality coaches.

Revenue Generation/Fundraising/Attendance• Signed an exclusive, long-term marketing rights deal with Learfield Sports that guarantees record revenues from advertising and marketing with UTC Athletics.• Restructured the Mocs Club, resulting in nearly a 20% increase in the number of members over the last two years. • Secured three major gifts from UTC benefactors that totaled over $2 million in the past three years. • Excluding these three major gifts, the Mocs Club capped the $1 million mark for each of the last two years. • Implemented a donor program for football season ticket sales, hospitality and parking. • Overall ticket revenues have increased nearly 35% since Hart’s first year. • Women’s basketball has led the SoCon in attendance in each of Hart’s five years. • Football set a school record with over 2,600 season tickets sold in 2010. UTC football has broken ticket sales marks in each of the last two seasons.

Facilities• Completed the state-of-the-art Brenda Lawson Student-Athlete Success Center which includes the Wolford Fam-ily Strength and Conditioning and Chattem Basketball Practice Facilities.

• Completed major improvements to Scrappy Moore Field with the opening of the Murphy-Haugerud Football Prac-tice Complex at Scrappy Moore Field. • Partnered with the City of Chattanooga and The First Tee to construct the Player Development Complex for the golf teams. • Enhanced the Football Locker Room, Visiting Team Basketball Locker Rooms, Academic Computer Lab and Administrative Offices • Installed video boards in McKenzie Arena • Acquired land needed to develop plans and a funding model for an on-campus facility for Track & Field and Women’s Soccer.

Coaches• Ignited fans everywhere with the hiring of Russ Hues-man, a former Moc letter winner, in December 2008 to “Restore the Glory” to Chattanooga Football.• Orchestrated Jeff Clark’s return to the head coaching position of the women’s tennis program in 2007. • Hired former Moc Heath Eslinger to head the wresting program in 2009. Eslinger won the Mocs’ sixth-straight SoCon regular season title in 2010.• Hired Travis Filar to take over the volleyball program in February 2011.

Managing finite resources in collegiate athletics is widely known as a difficult task. Hart made fiscal steward-ship a priority for the department since his arrival. With diligent leadership and a commitment from each and ev-ery member of the department, UTC Athletics has made significant strides towards reducing the financial burden on the institution – including a balanced budget four of his five years.

Hart arrived on the UTC campus after serving seven years at the University of Oklahoma in various athletics administrative capacities. Hart’s career with the Sooners began in 1999 as the Director of Marketing and Licens-ing. He became Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Licensing in 2001, and developed and implemented marketing campaigns which generated annual ticket rev-enues in excess of $19.5 million. Hart was promoted to Associate Athletics Director for Program Advancement and Branding in 2003 and Senior Associate Athletics Di-rector in 2006.

Hart has also worked in athletics for the University of North Carolina and East Carolina University and has served with the U.S. Olympic Committee. A 1994 gradu-ate of UNC, Hart earned a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, Health and Sport Science. Hart and his wife, Allison, also a graduate of North Carolina, have a son, Trevor, 12, and a daughter, Caroline, 9.

A third-generation athletics administrator, Hart’s fa-ther, Dave, currently serves as Executive Director of Athletics at the University of Alabama, and his late grand-father, Dave Sr., served in a variety of roles within col-legiate athletics including a stint as the Commissioner of the Southern Conference from 1987-91.

MOCS RAdiO netWORK Fans and football enthusiasts can listen to the crystal-clear au-dio broadcast of each Chattanooga Mocs football game on the Home of the Mocs, ESPN Radio 105.1 WALV FM. All games will also broadcast online at www.GoMocs.com. All broadcasts begin one hour prior to kickoff and are followed by a comprehensive postgame show which features a game recap, sta-tistics and interviews with head coach Russ Huesman and Mocs players. The radio broadcast team of Jim Reynolds and Todd Agne, together for their 15th season of Mocs’ Foot-ball, will bring fans all 11 regular-season games. Reynolds is the Dean of Southern Conference broadcasters. His exper-tise is play-by-play announcing, and he returns for his 32nd season behind the microphone at Chattanooga football games. The Chicago native is one of the hosts of the city’s popular radio talk show, “The Morning Press,” on WGOW 102.3 FM. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in Speech Communications in 1977 from Illinois State, he began his career at WAKC-AM Radio in Bloomington, Ill., where he served as the play-by-play announcer for the Illinois Wesleyan football and basketball teams. He also worked at Bloomington station WRBA where he did some play-by-play for Illinois State football and basketball. Reynolds also spent time as the play-by-play announcer for the Univer-sity of Illinois basketball team while working with BRO-MAR Sports Net-work in Chicago. Currently, he is also the play-by-play voice for Mocs basketball games. Agne joins Reynolds to add color analysis, features and commentary, and a national scoreboard update to the broadcast. Agne, who attended Marshall University, has spent parts of the past 24 years covering Southern Conference athletics for radio, print and television in four different media markets. He enters his 15th season with the football broadcast team. Will Poindexter, the current color analyst for the Chattanooga Lookouts, returns to the team for his fifth season as the sideline reporter.
