Search Over: UNLV Taps Hamrick as New AD
Aug. 13, 2003
By Steve Carp LAS VEGAS - Mike Hamrick, who began his career in athletic administration 22 years ago at UNLV, is returning to Las Vegas as the school's athletic director. Hamrick, East Carolina's AD the past eight years, accepted president Carol Harter's job offer over the phone late Tuesday. Details of Hamrick's contract were still being settled, but he is expected to receive a three-year deal worth close to what he made at East Carolina, where he had a base salary of $180,000. Hamrick will also receive a bonus based on graduation rates. "UNLV was my first job and I told my wife it would be great to come back to Las Vegas someday, and daggummit, it's happened," Hamrick said late Tuesday from his Greenville, N.C., home. "The quality of the people in place from the president to the staff to the coaches is very impressive." When John Robinson resigned as AD on May 20, Harter said that she wanted his replacement in place before UNLV's 2003 football season opener, an Aug. 29 home game against Toledo.
