The next UIL athletic director will face a number of key challenges such as recruiting and retaining diverse coaches and broadening the sport landscape.The recent departure of the athletics director of the University Interscholastic League surprised many across Texas. With a new director of athletics to be named any day, parents should know there are five areas that the new athletics director should consider.
Population growth also is a challenge. The rising number of students in Texas has led to school district expansion and the need for a new classification of UIL divisions. There needs to be a call for a new and bigger classification. But, if created, a new 7A division would build new geographical and operational challenges for school districts.
There is also another problem. Yearly, athletics programs are getting penalized for athletic violations because some adults in leadership roles have failed to follow UIL rules. The new athletic director should explore expanding current ethics and rules training for high school coaches and athletics directors to include more hours and courses. Specifically, the UIL should facilitate yearly, mandatory training for all adults in leadership roles across all UIL activities.
