In his two years as athletic director, Greenspan has overseen a department that has won six individual or team national titles, ranked among the Big Ten Conference leaders in academic all-league selections, enjoyed an 8.3 percent increase in Varsity Club annual giving and a record $11.5 million in gifts and pledges to the Big Ten's largest scholarship endowment, and is on pace to record its second consecutive triumph in the SBC Crimson and Gold Cup all-sports competition series with Purdue.
Lyon is preparing for his fifth season at the helm of Indiana's women's soccer program. Competing in one of the nation's top women's soccer conferences, Indiana has advanced to the Big Ten Tournament each of the last four seasons. The Hoosiers enjoyed a productive spring campaign, as they welcome seven talented newcomers to an already veteran ballclub.
Fischer recently completed his 33rd season as the radio voice of IU football and men's basketball. A 2004 inductee into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame inductee, Fischer has earned Indiana Sportscaster of the Year laurels 22 times in his Hoosier tenure.
