On behalf of the American Athletic Conference, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate University of Tulsa Vice President and Director of Athletics Derrick Gragg on being named the NCAA’s new Senior Vice President of Inclusion, Education and Community Engagement and to thank him for his many outstanding contributions to Tulsa and to the American Athletic Conference.
Derrick has assumed and performed admirably in leadership positions within our Conference and currently chairs our Racial Equality Action Group. I know I speak for everyone in our Conference and in the college community when I say that we have valued his friendship and counsel over the years.
