RICE- ECCLES STADIUM / / / / / /
A Rice-Eccles Stadium record crowd of 47,825 turned out for Michigan’s visit in 2015.
W
ith its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake, Rice-Eccles Stadium is recognized as one of the most beautiful college stadiums in the country. While the exterior scenery is captivating, the charged atmosphere inside Rice-Eccles Stadium makes it one of the 25 “toughest stadiums in the country” for opposing teams according to Bleacher Report. Entering the 2016 season, Utah has played to 38-straight sellouts (35 which exceeded the seating capacity) in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. In its first 18 years, there have been 56 total standing-room-only crowds. The venue’s seating capacity was increased from 45,017 to 45,807 in 2014, and as a result, 11 of the top 15 crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded in the last two years. The Utes averaged a school-record 46,533 fans per game in 2015, when they also recorded their two best single-game attendance marks (47,825 vs. Michigan and 47,798 vs. California). Dating back to its 13-0 Sugar Bowl campaign of 2008, Utah’s average attendance has exceeded the stadium’s capacity for eight consecutive years. Opened in 1998 on the grounds of the old Ute (1927-71) and Rice (1972-97) stadiums, Rice-Eccles Stadium has seen several upgrades in ensuing years. The latest is a state-of-the-art 122 x 64-foot video scoreboard that rises 137 feet above ground and was completed in the summer of 2016. One of the largest college football video boards in the country, it features a high definition display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The enhanced software to run the board will deliver some of the best special effects in the sports industry and will synchronize with the LED boards in the north endzone. Another improvement for 2016 is a distributed sound system that will enhance the sound quality in every section of Rice-Eccles Stadium while also reducing noise to the surrounding community. 8
2016 UTAH FOOTBALL
Rice-Eccles Stadium has also hosted a number of other major sporting events, the most prominent being the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. The initial groundwork for Rice-Eccles Stadium began in 1996, when Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fundraising campaign to replace aging 32,500-seat Rice Stadium. A lead gift of $10 million soon came in from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, steered by former Ute All-America skier Spence Eccles. The total construction costs ran $50 million, of which $20 million came from private gifts, $10 million from athletics department bonding, $12 million from the University of Utah and $8 million from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Committee. Preliminary construction work began in the summer of 1997. Two days after the final home game that fall, wrecking crews moved in and demolished Rice Stadium. Only the south end zone bleachers and the Rice name (Robert L. Rice contributed $1 million in the 1972 renovation) would carry over to the new venue. Rising from the rubble less than 10 months later was RiceEccles Stadium, an imposing concrete, steel and glass edifice that dominates the Salt Lake skyline. Visible for miles is the stadium box, located 14 stories above ground and encased in a 400-squarefoot expanse of tempered glass. The box is supported by twin towers containing four high-speed elevators. Occupants of the stadium box are treated to sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and downtown Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. The Cleone and Spence Eccles Scholarship Box on Level 4 seats 450 and has indoor-outdoor seating, along with eight suites. The Mezzanine on Level 5 provides another 17 suites. Level 6 contains the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer
and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor, and booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former longtime “Voice of the Utes”). The press, TV and radio sections open into the Varsity Reception area, which seats 400 for dining. The 2016 stadium upgrades are not the first time the scoreboards have been replaced since Rice-Eccles opened its gates. In 2003, the late Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for the venue’s first video scoreboard. In 2007, Utah Sports Properties financed an LED board stretching across the top of the north end zone stands, and two LED scoreboards were added to the north corners in 2014. In 2012, an LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands. The stadium floor has also changed with the times. A FieldTurf surface with CoolPlay cork infill was installed in September 2015, marking the third version of FieldTurf laid down in Rice-Eccles since 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to Ute Field) were natural grass from 1927-71 and again in 2000-01, AstroTurf from 1972-95 and SportGrass from 1995-99. The south end zone bleachers, built in 1982, house the locker rooms, the Gary L. Crocker Stadium Club suite and a band room. The plaza behind the south end zone was dedicated on Aug. 21, 2003 as the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Cauldron Park. The Utah Athletics main ticket office is located on the southwest corner of the plaza. NEW VIDEO BOARD AND SOUND SYSTEM FOR 2016
Fans at Rice-Eccles Stadium will be treated to a new 7,800-square foot high definition video board and distributed sound system that were installed this summer. The $13.5 million project was funded by the U. Athletics Department and Auxiliary Services. RICE- ECCLES STADIUM TOP CROWDS

UTAH TRADITIONS / / / / / /
T
he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972. The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council. “What is a Ute?” The Utes are an Indian tribe that originally settled Utah. Two of the more common definitions of Ute are “top of the mountains” and “people of the mountains.” Other references have Ute defined as “land of the sun.” The Utes refer to themselves as “Noochew,” meaning “the People.” There are four Ute tribes: The Northern and White Mesa Tribes are based in Utah, while the Southern and Ute Mountain Tribes are in Colorado. The Northern Utes are most closely affiliated with the University of Utah and have a tribal membership of around 3,000. Many of them live on the Uintah and Ouray reservation. The Utes operate their own tribal government, oversee approximately 1.3 million acres of trust land and operate several businesses. “The Pride of Utah” Marching Utes began in the 1940s as a military band. In the turbulent ’60s, support for the band dwindled, and in 1969, the Associated Students for the University of Utah (ASUU) discontinued its funding. The band was revived in 1976, and since then, the “Pride of Utah” Marching Utes have performed at all home football games, as well as numerous NFL and college bowl games. To the victor goes the Beehive Boot. The authentic pioneer boot has been awarded annually since 1971 to the Utah school with the best record against instate foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 45-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 14 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ’11, ’13 and ‘15), BYU 10

22 times and Utah State nine times. The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark are illuminated primarily for athletic events and to notify people in the Salt Lake valley that the Utes are playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory). Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000-square feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system. The MUSS, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, is nearly 6,000 strong at Ute home football games. The name MUSS was
originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (… No rival band of college fans dare meet us in the muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.” The MUSS turns 15 years old this season. Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season. MUSS members are easily identified by their customized tee-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game. They have a number of other traditions during football games, including the Third Down Jump, in which members jump around and make noise every time the opposing team prepares for a third down play. Other rituals include the U of U Chop, which occurs every time the band plays a specific percussion song and involves MUSS members forming a U with their hands and “chopping” to the beat of the music, and the First Down Chant (members raise their hands in unison, yelling “first down,” and mimic the referees by pointing their arm in the direction of the first down). The line of “fives” hanging in front of the MUSS section refers to the False Start Tally. Whenever the opposing team is charged with a false start, the MUSS hangs a numeral five in front of its section indicating a five-yard penalty. Every time the Utes score, the band plays the school fight song, signaling the MUSS to sing along to the words of the Utah Fight Song. After every game, Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of the Utah Fight Song. Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2004 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U mentioned in the U of U Chop and raising it toward the sky. The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The football team began sporting a MUSS decal on the back of its helmets in 2004.

K
yle Whittingham, the 2008 National Coach of the Year, has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. As an assistant and head coach, Whittingham has played a role in 180 victories in 22 seasons at Utah. More than half of those have come in 11 years as the head coach, when he is 95-46. Whittingham has been almost unbeatable in bowl games and his 90-percent bowl winning percentage is the best of any coach in NCAA history. His 9-1 bowl record exceeds the NCAA minimum of seven wins. Whittingham was the only person involved in all of Utah’s nine consecutive bowl victories from 1999-2009—a bowl streak that is tied for the second-longest in NCAA history. He was the defensive coordinator for the first three games of the streak and the head coach for the last six. Utah is currently on a three-game bowl win streak. He came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the following year. On Dec. 8, 2004, Whittingham was named the school’s 20th head coach. His first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) the 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was against Arizona in the 2005 season opener. In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history when the Utes finished 13-0 and routed Alabama—a team that spent five weeks at No. 1—in the Sugar Bowl. Utah finished the season with a No. 2 AP ranking and Whittingham was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee. Utah was the country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008 and beat four top-25 teams—two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. His success has carried over to the Pac-12 Conference where the 2015 Utes were co-champions of the Pac-12 South Division. Utah finished 10-3 overall, including a Las Vegas Bowl victory over BYU, and was 6-3 in conference games. Utah’s No. 16 final AP ranking (No. 17 Coaches) in 2015 was the fourth AP top-25 finish under Whittingham. The Utes finished No. 2 in 2008, No. 18 in 2009 and No. 21 in 2014. In addition, the 2010 Utes

were ranked No. 23 in the final Coaches’ poll. Utah has appeared in every College Football Playoff (CFB) ranking in the first two years of the system, finishing No. 22 in both 2014 and 2015. In addition to his national coaching accolades in 2008, Whittingham was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year Award in 2014 and the George Munger Coach of the Year Award in 2015. Under Whittingham, Utah has beaten every Pac12 team and also has an impressive non-conference resume, including a 3-0 mark against Michigan. Whittingham has 13 wins over AP Top-25 teams as a head coach. In their first season in the Pac-12 Conference in 2011, the Utes finished with an 8-5 record and a Sun Bowl victory over Georgia Tech. The 2012 Utes won three of their final five Pac-12 games and the 2013 season included an upset of No. 5 Stanford. The 2014 Utes boasted wins against historical football powers Michigan, UCLA, USC and Stanford—a feat considered unprecedented in school history. Utah finished the 2014 season with a 9-4 record and a Las Vegas Bowl win over Colorado State. Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. Twelve of his players have

Defensive end Kyle Fitts had a career-high seven tackles and three pass breakups against UCLA last season.
UTAH ’FITTS’ HIM WELL Injured defensive end Kylie Fitts had his mind set on playing at the Los Angeles area Pac-12 schools before finding the perfect home in Utah. By Chalis Benda Utah Athletics Communications
F
rom playing at Redlands East High School in California, to originally committing to USC, to starting his college career at UCLA, to ending up at Utah, Kylie Fitts has had his mind on a lot of schools over the last four years. Really, all came down to options, and Fitts has had a lot of them. And as they say, it’s not about how you start, it’s how you finish.
Ranked as the nation’s No. 9 strong side defensive end and the state of California’s 12th-best recruit in the 2013 signing class by Rivals.com, Fitts was heavily recruited. He first committed to USC in spring 2013, but then the Trojans gave away his early entrant spot and told him he would have to wait until summer to enroll. Fitts wasn’t pleased with the idea so he began the search process all over again.
Fitts made a visit to Utah but ultimately chose UCLA because he wanted to stay close to home. As a true freshman with the Bruins, he played in six games and had a tackle for loss against California. After that season, Fitts still had an uneasy feeling and decided to transfer from UCLA. He took another visit to Utah and knew this time it was where he wanted to be. “It was difficult (when deciding on a school),” Fitts explained. “I knew I wanted to go to one of those schools (USC or UCLA) because they were close to home. USC wasn’t right. Then after going to UCLA, I knew it wasn’t the fit for me. I took a visit here to Utah and knew this was the family atmosphere I wanted to be in. I knew Utah was the place I wanted to come to.” Before he could finalize his decision, Fitts first had to appeal the Pac-12’s strict intra-conference transfer rule, which mandated that, in addition 2016 UTAH FOOTBALL
25
UTE SENIOR PROFILE / / / / / / to the usual NCAA-mandated one-year period of noncompetition, a student-athlete must lose one year of eligibility. Had he not won the appeal, he might’ve gone to San Diego State or Fresno State. But his wish was granted and Fitts arrived in Utah as a redshirt in 2014. “It was hard coming here, redshirting and sitting out the whole year. Being on the scout team, it was tough for me mentally,” Fitts confided. “But I wanted to keep working. I knew God had plans for me. The next year I wanted to come out and prove myself and earn some respect.” And he did just that. In his first season on the field with the Utes, Fitts was considered one of the best defensive ends in the Pac-12. He paced Utah and tied for fourth in the conference with seven sacks, led the Pac-12 and tied for ninth in the country with four forced fumbles, and also had 10 pass breakups. When Fitts hears about those accomplishments, he tries to remain humble and not let it go to his head. Instead, he says he looks to God and tries to maintain his blue collar work ethic. When the Utes played UCLA last season, it stirred up a lot of emotions as Fitts faced former teammates and coaches. He produced one of his better performances of the year with a career-high seven tackles and three pass breakups. Fitts knows it will be an emotional game once again this season when the Utes face the Bruins on Oct. 22 in the Rose Bowl, but he is also looking forward to playing in front of friends and family in the area. Fitts says his parents, older brothers Matthew and Anthony, and his younger sister Emily have supported him through every decision he has made, even though he ultimately ventured away from their base in southern California. His father played a major role in his decision to come to Utah. While Kylie was growing up, Matt Fitts pushed his son to be the best man and player he could be. Matt was an outstanding athlete as well, pitching two years in the New York Mets’ minor league system before turning to football and playing offensive line at Cal State Fullerton. Even though Fitts had both football and baseball genes running through him, he knew football was his calling. His brothers both played football and helped Fitts throughout. They supported him through it all and made him the competitive player he is today. Before a foot injury suffered in the first half of the BYU game ended his season, Fitts was looking for his defensive unit to lead the Utes to a Pac-12 championship. He had also hoped to make first-team All-Pac-12 and reach double digits in sacks. Through two games, he had 1.5 sacks and three tackles for loss. Although the Ute staff initially thought Fitts had 26

suffered a sprain, further evaluation showed “much more extensive” damage, according to head coach Kyle Whittingham. Fitts is expected to apply for a medical hardship waiver to play next year. “It’s not a slam dunk like some of them are,” Whittingham explained. “We’ll have to see. It’ll be a process.” The recovery and waiver process will certainly test Fitts’ resolve, but since his high school years Fitts has found strength and grounding in God. Fitts was raised Catholic but rarely went to church until his family was invited to a nondenominational service when he was a high school freshman. At the time, Kylie’s father was working construction with his uncle in Southern California. The business was doing well, but then, as was the story with so many people, the recession hit and their lives changed drastically. “My parents lost almost everything,” Fitts said. “... We had nowhere else to turn to.” But they believed a righteous right hand was there for them when they needed it, and Fitts was baptized two years later. Fitts has felt fortunate to have his family at
every Utah game, home or away. They have been in the stands cheering for No. 11, wearing shirts made by Emily, and shooting pictures and videos. They are his number one fans. On game days, Fitts has listened to gospel music as a way to calm him down early on, but as soon as the pads were put on and kickoff was approaching, he flipped the music to rap to pump him up. Fitts hopes to continue that pregame ritual after this season. In addition to one more year with the Utes, Fitts is hopeful of getting a shot at playing in the NFL. If that doesn’t work out, he plans to return to California and start up an athletic training facility. Fitts is someone who always has been constantly striving to improve himself as a player and a person. He is grateful to his roommates, Jordan Howard and Nick Mika, as well as Hayden Clegg, who all took him under their wings when he first came to Utah. They all work together on and off the field, and Fitts credits them for helping him become the player he is today. He is also inspired by the sea of red-cladded fans at Rice-Eccles Stadium on game days. God willing, he will see them again in 2017.
Kylie Fitts was second on the team in pass breakups and led the way in sacks in 2015.

of key contributors from the 2015-16 season. Senior Stina Colleou finished with a programbest 16 top-five finishes last season. The school record holder in the 200 breast, she placed 14th at the 2016 European Olympic Trials for her native Norway. Last season, she won three individual titles in the 100 and 200 breast and finished ninth and fourth at the Pac-12 Championships in those respective events. Sophomore Genevieve Robertson and junior Jenna Marsh tied for the team lead with five individual titles last season. Robertson had her most success in the 200 breaststroke with four wins. She also finished ninth in the 100 breast at the Pac-12 Championships and notched 14 top-five finishes. This summer, she reached the finals of the 100 and 200 breast at the Canadian Olympic Trials. Marsh notched wins in the 50 and 100 free as well as the 50 and 100 fly last year. She also finished with 11 top-five finishes, and teamed with Robertson, Megan Kawaguchi and Gillian St. John to set the school record in the 200 medley relay. St. John earned a pair of wins in the 100 free last season and also had the biggest improvement of any Utah swimmer at this year’s U.S. Olympic Trials, jumping 53 spots in the 50 free. Jordan Anderson joined St. John at the Olympic Trials, with the sophomore competing in the 400 IM. With wins in the 500 and 1000 free during the 2015-16 season, Anderson placed seventh in the 400 IM at the Pac-12 Championships and is the school’s current career record holder. The Utes also return Kat Wickham and Dorien Butter. Wickham notched a pair of wins in the 500 and 1000 free and placed 10th in the 1650 free at the

ntering his fourth season with the University of Utah swimming and diving team, head coach Joe Dysktra is looking forward to a successful 2016-17 season. “We are really excited for the potential of what this season can become,” said Dykstra. “We had a lot of adversity to overcome last year, and with a major influx of new talent with our freshmen class, we have an incredible energy around the team right now. I think everyone senses that we have the chance to really take a step forward as a program with this great young collection of talent, and everyone is excited to really get into the bulk of the season. “We need to improve our discipline as it pertains to our technical details, as well as care for ourselves away from the pool in terms of sleep, nutrition, and recovery,” Dykstra continued. “I think this group is really excited to embrace that challenge and to hold each other to a higher standard than ever before. On the women’s side, the Utes return a number

Pac-12 Championships. She also ranks in the top 10 all-time in those events at Utah. Butter notched three wins in the 100 free last season. On the board, the Utes return Amanda Casillas. The senior won 11 events last season and added 10 top-five finishes to her resume. She represented the United States in the 10m platform at the Olympic Trials this summer after taking seventh at NCAA Zones and 27th at the NCAA Championships. She also ranks second all-time at Utah in the same event. The incoming class also contains some bright new additions, including Sarah Lott, Cassidy Stein and twins McKenna and Mariah Gassaway. Lott was ranked as the top swimmer in New Mexico by CollegeSwimming.com after winning the 100 free (52.07) at the state championships, placed second in the 200 free and broke numerous state records. Stein impressed at this summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials in the 400 IM and was ranked as the fourth-best swimmer in the state of Colorado. She also won the 400 IM at the Speedo Championship Series and was a finalist in the 200 back, 1000 free and 1650 free. Both student-athletes are also outstanding out of the pool as Lott was a Scholastic All-American and Stein was a member of the National Honor Society, Science Olympiad and B.I.O.N.I.C. The Gassaways are local products from Bountiful and competed at Viewmont High School. Mariah was ranked as the top swimmer in the state after winning 50

The men’s team returns senior diver Josiah Purss, a native of Australia, who is currently the school record holder in the three-meter event. He also ranks second all-time in the platform and third on the one-meter board. At last year’s NCAA Championships, he took 11th in the one-meter event with a score of 357.95. In the three-meter event, Purss took second at NCAA Zones and fourth at the Pac-12 Championships. In the pool, the Utes return juniors Jack Burton, Ben Scott and sophomore Daniel McArthur. Burton, the Utah record holder in the 200 breast, also ranks second all-time in the 100 breast. He was also part of the record-breaking 200-medley relay team at the 2015 Pac-12 Championships. Burton has multiple victories last season, all in breaststroke events McArthur won multiple events last year in the backstroke and the individual medley while earning 17 top-five finishes. He currently ranks second all-time in the 100 and 200 back, as well as the 200 IM, and was one of a number of Utes to compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials this past summer. Scott finished last season with 14 top-five finishes and ranks in the topfive all-time in both the 100 and 200 fly at Utah Utah also welcomes an outstanding incoming
class headlined by Liam O’Haimhirgin, Ethan Dillard, Rahiti De Vos, Matteo Sogne and transfer McKay King. O’Haimhirgin competed in the 100 free at the U.S. Olympic Trials and was ranked as the 12th-best swimmer in the state of California by CollegeSwimming.com. He also captured the 100 fly at the 2015 Speedo Champions Series. Fellow Californian Dillard was ranked as the 25th-best swimmer in the state by CollegeSwimming.com and was a finalist in the 400 IM at the 2015 Speedo Champions Series. De Vos and Sogne are not only newcomers to the Utah program, but also the United States. De Vos, from Nice, France, took gold in the 400 and 1500 freestyle in record times at the Pacific Games as member of the Tahiti National Team. He also won the 200 fly at the same meet and captured a junior French championship in the 400 free. Sogne, one of the top junior swimmers in Italy has competed internationally. He earned a gold medal, along with three silvers and a bronze at the Italian Championships. King, a transfer from BYU and local product from American Fork, was named to the All-MPSF first team while with the Cougars and was a four-time 5A state champion for the Cavemen. The women’s team starts the season with a Pac-12 meet against Oregon State on Sept. 30 at Ute Natatorium.

THE UTAH FIGHT SONG / / / / / / VERSE
We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I! CHORUS (same) VERSE
And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go. No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.
VERSE
I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen. Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far!
CHORUS (same) VERSE
We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!
CHORUS
Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die. Ki-yi!

ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D., has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 30th year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. 58
2016 UTAH FOOTBALL
Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference in the summer of 2010, a move preceded by the football team’s historic BCS appearances in the 2004 and 2008 seasons. In its first five seasons in the “Conference of Champions,” Utah has won two titles in gymnastics, captured the 2016 baseball crown, and was the Pac-12 South Division co-champion in football in 2015. Utah has won nine NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure—five by the ski team and four by the gymnastics team—and has finished as the national runner-up 16 times. Those runner-up finishes include a No. 2 national ranking by the football team after its victory over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and by the 1998 men’s basketball team. He has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998). Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (2004-09), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06. The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years immediately preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 13-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership. The men’s basketball team has played in 15 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team has 15 NCAA appearances, playing in the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight in 2006, and was the 2013 WNIT runner-up. The gymnastics team has made 19 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 29 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or second in the nation 14 times under his watch. He has received a number of awards, including: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year. The former Rutgers’ basketball captain was
inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award. The New Jersey native has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 197579 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (1979-81). From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before coming back to athletics as the Crimson Club director (1985-86). In 1987, he became the director of athletics. Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities. As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982). His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for Excellence in Teaching. They have two children, Aly and Christopher; three granddaughters, Addie, Lily and Ayumi, and a grandson, Jack. Aly played soccer for the University of Oregon and has a master’s degree in social work from Utah. She teaches students with severe disabilities in the Salt Lake City School District. Christopher holds a bachelor’s and law degree from the U. He works in business strategy for ESPN and is married to Darci Motoki, who received her bachelor’s degree from Boston College and her master’s degree from Claremont Graduate University. She is a consultant for Accenture.
