Chancellor Philip L. Dubois has announced the appointment of Mike Hill as the next Director of Athletics at UNC Charlotte. Hill, currently Executive Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs at the University of Florida, will assume his responsibilities on March 15 and be introduced at a public news conference on March 6.
The Chancellor cited the range of experiences Hill acquired during his 25-year tenure at Florida as a key factor in the decision. "Mike has a deep background in a highly successful athletic program from a 'Power Five' conference, so he has played lead roles in hiring and working with highly successful head coaches, negotiating multi-million dollar media agreements and facilities naming rights, and being on point in external relations for the Gators.
