Athletics Media Relations not seeking replacement

The Athletics Media Relations has not decided whether it will replace its departed assistant director who was the media contact for men’s basketball, cross country and women’s golf.

Trey Carmichael, who had worked in the media relations office longer than any current employee, left his job Nov. 8, said Steve Fink, director of athletic media relations.

“He is pursuing other career opportunities,” said Fink, who refused to elaborate further.

Other athletic department staff are picking up Carmichael’s duties. “Right now we are not looking for anybody,” Fink said.

Carmichael had worked in the media relations office for nine years. He was the media contact for football in 2000 when LaDainian Tomlinson made a run for the Heisman Trophy.

Carmichael did not return phone calls Monday.
