Ball State has found a new director of intercollegiate athletics.
President Paul Ferguson will introduce the new athletic director at a news conference on Thursday.
The conference begins at 11 a.m. in the Worthen Arena Lounge and will also be streamed live on the Ball State website.
Deputy athletic director Brian Hardin has served as the university's interim athletic director since former director Bill Scholl left for Marquette University in mid-October.
Hardin was a part of the 12-person committee tasked with selecting a pool of candidates for Ferguson to choose from.
Ferguson said he said would be looking for someone who is a very effective manager and has an understanding of “the athletics enterprise,” including how to increase fan attendance.
Ball State's athletic director runs the nearly $22 million athletic budget and is a position connected with the university's strategic plan.
