LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – In an announcement
made today by the conference office, Jeff DeBaldo has resigned as
the Assistant Commissioner of the Southern Collegiate Athletic
Conference. The resignation is effective June 30.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., DeBaldo and his wife Ashley have
decided to pursue career opportunities closer to home.
“As the SCAC enters a new era with the approaching additions
of Schreiner University and Texas Lutheran University, the timing
felt right for me to enter a new era as well,” said DeBaldo.
“This is truly a bittersweet moment for me. However, the
opportunity to move back closer to family and friends was something
that my wife and I could not pass up.”
“I want to thank the SCAC Presidents’ Council,
Athletic Director’s Council and Commissioner Dwayne Hanberry
for the opportunity to work for and represent the SCAC for the past
five years. It has truly been an honor and privilege to serve this
great conference and its membership and I know great things are in
store for the league. The SCAC will always hold a cherished place
in my heart and I wish all of our student-athletes, coaches and
administrators nothing but the best as I make this
transition.”
DeBaldo, who also served as the SCAC’s Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee advisor, has been the Assistant Commissioner of
the SCAC since 2008.
“Jeff did tremendous work for the SCAC these past five
years,” said SCAC commissioner Dwayne Hanberry. “His
loyalty and his unwavering efforts to promote the member
institutions and student-athletes of this conference will be
missed. I wish him and his wife Ashley well as they move forward
with this new chapter in their lives.”
