Chad Hawley, who most recently served as Assistant Commissioner for Compliance with the Big Ten Conference, has been named to the newly-createdposition of Associate Athletic Director for Compliance Services at IU. Prior to his post with the Big Ten, Hawley held compliance positions with the Mid-Continent Conference and Ivy League, as well as at North Carolina State University and Appalachian State.
A 1998 graduate of Appalachian State, Hawley holds a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola University in Chicago, and was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 2006.
"I'm very excited about being chosen to lead the intercollegiate athletics compliance operation at Indiana. It's a great feeling to be joining the athletic staff at a university where a culture of compliance and a philosophy of `winning the right way' is so well established," Hawley stated. "I have a lot of confidence in Rick Greenspan and the institutional leadership at IU, and look forward to working with them in the future."
After 12 years of service in the compliance area for Indiana athletics, Jennifer Brinegar has accepted a new position as Senior Assistant Athletic Director for Recruiting and Enrollment Services. A standout swimmer as an undergraduate at IU and a graduate of Vanderbilt Law School, Brinegar will manage all aspects of the on-campus recruiting program for the athletic department, including direction of official and unofficial visit processes for prospective student-athletes, development of recruiting materials, oversight of initial eligibility certification and will coordinate summer orientation programming for incoming student-athletes.

"I am very excited about this opportunity and I will work very hard to help our coaches with their on-campus recruiting efforts," Brinegar commented.
Rick Greenspan believes the contributions that Hawley and Brinegar will make to the future success of the IU athletic program will be significant and quickly apparent.
"I'm very pleased that Chad will be joining us as a member of our senior management team. He brings outstanding experience and knowledge of both the Big Ten Conference and the NCAA to our department, and has very strong communication skills. Chad will provide leadership and guidance in many areas for us, and will positively impact both the coaches and student-athletes that he will serve," he offered.
"Jennifer's many years of experience and dedicated service to IU will enable her to be a great asset right away in our recruiting efforts. Her compliance background provides her with an excellent perspective on the NCAA's complex rules in the area of recruiting, which will enable her to effectively advise coaches as they attempt to attract quality student-athletes. Her presence in this position immediately makes our total athletic program stronger."
Both Hawley and Brinegar are expected to assume their new positions before the end of June.
