PROVO, Utah — BYU Director of Athletics Brian Santiago has announced enhancements to the BYU Athletics senior leadership team.
Former BYU basketball great, NBA player, founder, investor and business executive Travis Hansen will be joining BYU Athletics as a senior associate athletic director to oversee revenue share and NIL operations for the entire department.
Current BYU head coaches Diljeet Taylor and Kalani Sitake will join the leadership team as senior associate athletic directors and will assist the department with strategy and impact. Their primary responsibilities remain coaching and leading their nationally renowned programs.
Dallan Moody will be elevated to deputy athletic director, and will continue to oversee all BYU Athletics revenue and finance. Chad Lewis and Casey Stauffer are being elevated to senior associate athletic director roles, Lewis continuing to oversee development initiatives and Stauffer corporate sponsorship operations as key revenue-generation drivers. Liz Darger will continue as senior woman administrator (SWA) and she, David Almodova and Trevor Wilson continue as senior associate athletic directors. Tyson Hutchins will also be elevated to senior associate athletic director. This group will take over many of Santiago’s previous responsibilities and sport administration assignments.
“In an ever-changing landscape of college athletics, it is imperative we have excellent, sound leadership, especially in the revenue share/NIL space,” Santiago said. “Our mission is to develop young women and men of character and faith in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence, and prepare them for life after sport. Travis deeply embraces that mission and brings experience as a professional athlete, business executive and mentor who understands the shifting landscape of college athletics. Adding Diljeet and Kalani to our leadership team provides world-class coaching voices in our most important department collaborations and also expands their impact and influence to all 600+ of our student-athletes at BYU. These will be essential additions with Dallan, Chad, Casey, Liz, Trevor, David, Tyson and the rest of our existing senior leadership team that has worked so well together to get us in the position of strength we are currently in. I am so grateful to be aligned with this group. We’ve built something special together, and are going to build something even more special in years to come.”
Various other additions and elevated roles were also discussed at an internal BYU Athletics department meeting on Monday and will be announced publicly as further details get finalized.
