COLLEGE PARK — During his formal introduction as Maryland’s new athletic director Tuesday, Kevin Anderson thanked his predecessor for putting the school in the upper echelon of the nation’s sports programs.
Then Anderson vowed to do even better.
Anderson, the first African-American to hold the position at Maryland, was athletic director at Army before accepting the same job in College Park. The 55-year-old Anderson takes over for Debbie Yow, who held the post for 16 years until leaving for North Carolina State in July.
“I want to acknowledge Debbie Yow,” Anderson said. “Longevity speaks for itself.”
Then he said: “Maryland athletics is in good shape. But we do have our challenges. It is my vision to take the program from good to great. It is my expectation to get everyone on the Maryland bus.”
Anderson did plenty at Army, including turning an operating deficit of more than $1 million into a surplus of $2.73 million.
