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.”

Former college basketball players spanning many eras have joined a lawsuit filed by ex-UCLA star Ed O’Bannon against the NCAA for profiting from the use of their images without permission.

In an amended complaint filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday, four players involved in the 1966 national championship game that pitted a Texas Western team with five black starters against an all-white Kentucky team joined in the suit.

Those players include Harry Flournoy, who was team captain for Texas Western, which is now UTEP, which beat the 1966 Kentucky squad in a game now seen as a driving force in the integration of college sports. The game was also documented in the 2006 movie “Glory Road.”

Texas Western teammate David Lattin and 1966 Kentucky players Thad Jaracz and Bob Tallent also joined the suit as plaintiffs.

The lawsuit states “during broadcasts of the yearly NCAA tournament, the NCAA has run commercials … featuring the Texas Western team. The NCAA also prominently features the 1966 Texas Western team … in connection with products for sale.”
