JIM WEAVER DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JIM WEAVER 168 James C. Weaver, whose innovative ideas and work as a reformer have made him one of college athletics’ most popular administrators, is the director of athletics at Virginia Tech. Weaver, 61, was appointed on Sept. 24, 1997 and has been a tireless leader on behalf of Tech athletics. In his years on the job at Tech, Weaver has taken steps to place increased emphasis on projects benefiting studentathletes. He created a comprehensive awards program for letterwinners and has initiated and funded an annual awards banquet. The Monogram Club was revitalized in 1998 and provides several benefits to former Hokie athletes, trainers and managers. A top personal priority for Weaver is the continuing improvement of Tech’s facilities. Progress is evident in a number of projects which have recently concluded, while several major endeavors are on the horizon. The remodeling of Lane Stadium’s west side was completed in time for Tech’s 2006 home opener. It involved the construction of additional new luxury suites, a new President’s area, four private club seating areas, a ticket office, athletic fund offices, a memorabilia area and a new student academic services area. In addition, a satellite truck staging area was constructed on the west site for local television stations to use. A $19 million basketball practice facility has been approved by the Board of Visitors. It will boast two practice gyms, a 10,000 square-foot Olympic Sport weight room, a 3,000 square-foot basketball weight room, coach offices, film rooms and locker rooms. Groundbreaking is projected for summer 2008 so as to be finished in time for the 2009 basketball season. Weaver presided over Tech’s move into the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2004- 05, when Virginia Tech and Miami were officially introduced as the 10th and 11th members of the ACC, effective July 1, 2004. Weaver renegotiated Tech’s multimedia rights contract with ISP Sports, creating a new business relationship and enhanced revenue for the athletics department. In the Fall of 2000, Weaver arranged a joint venture with ISP to commit $2 million to purchase new scoreboards, upgrade sound systems, install an L.E.D. video display screen at Lane Stadium (which was enlarged for the 2005 season) and place two wall-mount L.E.D. video screens in Cassell Coliseum. Weaver came to Tech from Western Michigan University where he was director of athletics from January, 1996 until he came to Blacksburg. Prior to that, he was <strong>AD</strong> for three and a half years at UNLV, where he reconstructed a troubled athletic department. Weaver brings a “Penn State mentality” to the position. He says that various schools’ interest in him as a reformer through the years can be traced to Penn State and its reputation for how it conducts business in intercollegiate athletics. It was with the Nittany Lions’ football team that Weaver first made a name for himself in athletics. He was a center and linebacker on Penn State teams coached by the legendary Rip Engle and Joe Paterno. A native of Harrisburg, Pa., Weaver was recruited to Penn State by Engle. He played three seasons under Engle and one under Paterno, who is still the coach of the Nittany Lions. “I learned a lot from Joe Paterno,” Weaver says. “One thing he said certainly has stuck with me. ‘You either get better or you get worse. You never stay the same.’ ” Weaver graduated from Penn State in 1967 with a bachelor’s in psychology and rehabilitation education. He received a master’s in college counselor education, also from Penn State, in 1968. Weaver started a coaching career as an assistant at Penn State for six seasons. During that time, the Lions played in five bowl games – the Cotton, Gator, Sugar and Orange (twice). He later was the offensive coordinator at Iowa State and head coach for one season at Villanova in 1974. He also spent five years as an assistant professor at Clarion State and three years as director of franchise sales at Athletic Attic. Prior to landing the athletic director’s job at UNLV, Weaver spent nine years at the University of Florida. He was a strong force at Florida in the field of compliance and concluded his time there as associate athletics director. Weaver drew rave reviews at UNLV for his fund-raising expertise. He generated nearly $15 million. While at Western Michigan, Weaver announced creation of a $7 million football center, stabilized fluctuating revenues and installed a CHAMPS Life Skills program. Weaver and his wife Traci have four sons – Josh, Paul, Cole and Craig. 2 0 0 7 - 2 0 0 8 V I R G I N I A T E C H M E N’ S B A S K E T B A L L
