Kyle Moats Named New Director of Athletics

Missouri State Universitys search for its new Director of Athletics concluded today at JQH Arena with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the Universitys 10th AD. Moats is currently the Associate Athletics Director for National Marketing at the University of Louisville.

Moats is expected to begin his duties at Missouri State on July 1. He will replace Bill Rowe who will retire on June 30 after 27 years as Missouri States top athletics administrator after more than 50 years at the university as a student, coach and administrator.

"I am very pleased to have Kyle Moats as our new Director of  Athletics," said Missouri State President Michael T. Nietzel. "Kyle impressed all of us with his broad knowledge, wide range of experience, and vision for the future. He certainly has the student-athlete at the top of his priority list, and he understands how athletics should fit into the culture of a university. Following Bill Rowe, Kyle has big shoes to fill and he knows it. But I am confident Kyle will do an outstanding job for many years to come. All of us are excited to get started."
