HOUSTON—Sources tell 11 News that former Indiana University Athletic Director Rick Greenspan has been selected as the new AD at Rice University.
Greenspan will replace Chris Del Conte, who left last fall for the same post at TCU.
Greenspan was at Indiana for four years, during which time he was credited with getting $55 million worth of upgrades on university facilities.
However, his legacy will also include the hiring of controversial basketball coach Kelvin Sampson.
While Sampson coached the Hoosiers, he brought six NCAA infractions to the program.
Greenspan reportedly accepted the job at Rice early Thursday. Depending on how quickly the paperwork gets handled, the official announcement could come as early as Friday.
