Former A.D. Brad Smith hired as president’s assistant

Though his retirement was the talk of campus last year, former Athletic Director Brad Smith won’t say his final goodbyes for a few weeks. The NSCS Board of Trustees hired him in July to serve as an assistant to President Randy Rhine through the end of August.

Albeit temporary, Smith will stay on through Aug. 31 to help with the transition in the athletic department as newly hired Athletic Director Joel R. Smith takes over.

“It’s reasonable because I’ve been here for 26 years,” Brad Smith said Tuesday. “I have the most experience.”

Outgoing Smith’s knowledge of everything athletic at CSC, should help incoming Smith learn contacts for CSC sports teams, including ticket takers, security personnel, flag bearers and others.
