Michael Brown, who has extensive leadership experience in collegiate athletics, has joined Middle Georgia State University (MGA) as director of athletics, effective November 1. Most recently associate athletic director for operations at Purdue University Fort Wayne, Brown will immediately take charge of shepherding MGA Knights athletics through its most momentous change in years – a transition from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II.
“I am elated to join Middle Georgia State at this momentous time in the history of Knights athletics,” Brown said. “My vision is to see the Knights thrive as one of the top programs in the NAIA while we continue to pursue full-time membership as an NCAA Division II institution. My goals include collaborating with other MGA constituents to ensure student-athlete excellence in academics, the community, and in competition.”
