Bowling Green, Ohio – Greg Christopher, who has served as Bowling Green's Director of Athletics since 2006, has been named to the same post at Xavier University. Christopher was the 12th full-time AD at BGSU and will conclude his duties May 2.
“Greg Christopher has had a major leadership role in the University and in building a strong reputation for BGSU in the MAC and nationally,” BGSU President Mary Ellen Mazey said. “We will miss him greatly but know that he will have an outstanding future at Xavier.”
Bowling Green has won 11 Mid-American Conference championships in Christopher's tenure and the women's basketball team became the first program in MAC history to advance to the Sweet 16. The BGSU football team has played in three bowl games, most recently the 2012 Military Bowl in Washington, D.C.
“BGSU is a special place,” Christopher said. “I am grateful for the opportunity that I've had to serve our University and student-athletes. While I am excited about the move to Xavier, I will miss an incredible group of people that made going to work something I looked forward to each day. BGSU's coaches, staff and student-athletes embody the true spirit of college athletics. I look forward to following the Falcons in the future.”
