The University of Tulsa has its new athletic director.
Announced Tuesday night, TU is hiring Justin Moore out of Texas A&M. He was the executive deputy athletics director and chief operating officer for the Aggies.
He is replacing Rick Dickson, who is retiring. Moore’s first day will be July 8.
"I am excited to join The University of Tulsa," Moore said. "The Golden Hurricane has a rich athletics history with competitive teams and bright student-athletes, and I believe in the direction of the university under President Carson's leadership. I am eager to build relationships with so many great people – the coaching and administrative staffs, donors and fans, student-athletes and alumni and the Tulsa community – and get to work advancing this amazing program."
"Building upon the foundation that Rick Dickson has laid, Justin Moore is the right person to take The University of Tulsa into the next generation of college sports," Carson said. "Justin is extremely well respected among his peers. ADs from Ohio State and LSU personally reached out to affirm that he is one of the most talented administrators in college sports today. Perhaps more importantly, faculty from Texas A&M praised Moore for his work with student-athletes."
At Texas A&M, Moore directed the overall planning, implementation, administration, and day-to-day operations of the athletics department. He also served as the sport administrator for football and men's basketball.
Before his time at Texas A&M, Moore served as director of football operations and assistant athletics director with the University of Houston.
"I first came to admire The University of Tulsa when we played during my time with Houston," reflected Moore. "There is truly something special in Tulsa, and I look forward to amplifying Rick Dickson's success in the coming years."
Moore started with the Aggies in 2012. During that time, he oversaw student-athlete performance and wellness, facilities and event management, fundraising, facility planning and capital projects, academics and life skills, compliance, budgeting, team operations, and logistics and scheduling. He also organized a leadership development program for coaches, staff, and student-athletes.
As the Aggies' associate athletics director for football, Moore was involved with personnel and staffing, budget, recruiting, team logistics, bowl game coordination, and football-related facility projects, including the design process for an $8-million player development center, $12-million nutrition center, $21-million Bright Football Complex renovation, and $485-million Kyle Field redevelopment project.
Moore graduated from Texas A&M in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in finance and earned a master's degree in sport management in 2007. He worked in the private sector as a consultant for Deloitte & Touche LLP, consulting with top-level executives of Fortune 500 companies.
