Ohio State has hired a new senior associate athletic director who will oversee the football program.
Jocelyn Gates, who was the senior associate athletic director and senior woman administrator at Boston College for the past four years, was named Tuesday as a senior associate director of athletics at Ohio State.
She becomes Ohio State's new sport administrator for football, a role that was previously held by Diana Sabau, who is now the deputy commissioner and chief sports officer of the Big Ten. Gates' responsibilities will also include serving as the administrative liaison to Ohio State's compliance and student-athlete support services offices, administering the department's diversity and inclusion area and oversight of another sport in addition to football.
