DBU AD departs for a position at North Texas

Dallas Baptist is in the market for a new Athletic Director following an announcement of Dr. Connor Smith departing the Patriots to become the Associate Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at North Texas.

DBU has been very successful during Smith’s tenure, with the Patriots securing the first national title in school history when the women’s golf team captured a national title in 2021. Under Smith’s leadership, the men’s basketball team became one of only seven programs in the country to reach the NCAA Division II tournament in five consecutive seasons.
