UNLV hired Collegiate Sports Associates to conduct its search for a new athletic director.
The firm, which is based in West End, North Carolina, is run by former longtime athletic director Todd Turner, a common name in national searches.
Nancy Rapoport, special counsel to UNLV president Len Jessup, will serve as chairwoman of the search committee, which will be formed at the of this month or early February. By-laws dictate how the committee is formed, though Jessup will have some discretion.
Tina Kunzer-Murphy will serve as athletic director until the fiscal year ends June 30, and then she will move to the UNLV Foundation.
