Long-time ASC commissioner steps away

The American Southwest Conference will have a new commissioner after Amy Carlton announced she is stepping away from the ASC by June 30.. Carlton was selected as interim commissioner in July 2006 after Fred Jacoby retired. Carlton was named the second commissioner of the ASC in February 2007 and has held that position for the last 16 years.

Carlton joined the ASC as director of media relations in January 2002 and was promoted to assistant commissioner in May 2003. Before joining the ASC, she spent 13 years in sports information at three NCAA Division I institutions, including a 10-year stint as assistant director of media relations at Michigan.
