Tommy McClelland has been appointed Sunday as the athletic director at Rice University. 

"We’re thrilled to be able to attract someone with Tommy’s breadth of experience and success," Rice President Reginald DesRoches said. "He brings the values of academic excellence and deep integrity that define Rice, coupled with a passionate desire to compete successfully at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics. These attributes will be critical for Rice’s first season in the American Athletic Conference and the years to follow."

McClelland replaces Joe Karlgaard, who left Rice this month for a position in the private sector.
