Rice hires new AD

The Chronicle's Ronnie Turner reports that Rice has a new AD:

Rice President David W. Leebron announced today that the university had hired Chris Del Conte, senior associate athletics director at Arizona, to be its new director of athletics.

Del Conte, who will be Rice’s 14th athletic director, replaces Bobby May, who announced his retirement in April after 17 years at the helm. Del Conte comes to the university after serving in Arizona’s athletic department since December 1999.

In 2003, Del Conte was elevated to senior associate athletic director and became responsible for handling media and business operations, among other responsibilities. He also worked closely with the coaches, department heads and other staff.

Chris Del Conte has one main responsibility at Rice: Keep Wayne Graham happy.

Nothing else really matters.
