Last week, UTPB Vice President for Athletics Todd Dooley surprised many across the Lone Star Conference by announcing he was leaving collegiate athletics on July 1st to pursue his dream of being a pilot.
The Falcons athletics department experienced unprecedented success during the 2023-2024 school year. UTPB had two programs - football and men’s tennis - win their first Lone Star Conference title in program history. Seven programs appeared in the NCAA Division II playoffs this year, with men’s tennis reaching the Sweet 16.
