RALEIGH, N.C. - Lee Fowler, NC State’s Director of Athletics for the past 11 years, has been named the recipient of an Under Armour AD of the Year Award, which is presented by The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Twenty-nine winners were chosen from four geographic regions and seven different categories. Fowler was the winner for the southest region in the Football Bowl Subdivision category.
Fowler will receive the award during the James J. Corbett Awards Luncheon on Thursday at NACDA’s 45th Annual Convention in Anaheim, Calif.
Among the criteria for winning the award were service as an AD for a minimum of five academic years; demonstration of commitment to higher education and student-athletes; continuous teamwork, loyalty and excellence; and the ability to inspire individuals or groups to high levels of accomplishments. Additionally, each AD’s institution must have passed a compliance check through its appropriate governing body (i.e., NCAA, NAIA, etc.), in which the institution could not have been on probation or cited for a lack of institutional control within the last five years during the tenure of the current athletics director.
Nominators were NACDA-member directors of athletics, institutional presidents and conference commissioners. Special Selection Committees composed of current and former directors of athletics, present and past NCAA and NAIA presidents, current and former commissioners and other key athletics administrators voted on nominees for the award.
