Join us for a luncheon on Thursday, May 16, with Greg Byrne, University of Alabama Director of Athletics. Members are not required to register, although all guests must register.
With 30 years of experience in sports administration, Alabama Director of Athletics Greg Byrne has built an impressive career highlighted by consistent competitive success, innovative strategies, vigorous fundraising and a strong emphasis on academic excellence and student-athlete enhancement.
Named Alabama’s 17th Director of Athletics on January 17, 2017, Byrne made an immediate impact on the Crimson Tide, developing and implementing both The Standard, a strategic plan outlining the mission statement and core values of Alabama Athletics, and The Crimson Standard, a 10-year, $600 million capital initiative focused on the renovation of facilities and development of infrastructure.
That impact continued in 2022-23 with two major expansion announcements with national partners in Fanatics and LEARFIELD. On July 25, 2022, Alabama and Fanatics made public their new long-term, multifaceted partnership, which included the first-ever team store inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The expanded partnership allowed the University to capitalize on Fanatics merchandising platforms to create, promote and distribute Alabama merchandise featuring the name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights of current Crimson Tide student-athletes. Nearly seven months later, the extension of the Tide’s multimedia rights relationship with LEARFIELD was announced. The 15-year landmark deal is one of the longest and most integrated in college athletics, building on traditional components along with several new strategic initiatives. Among those are a first-of-its-kind, dedicated NIL hub called The Advantage Center, an original content platform in collaboration with LEARFIELD Studios and access to robust data and analytics enhancements via the company’s Fanbase infrastructure.
The son of Bill Byrne, whose long and highly successful career included 30 years as an athletics director, Greg Byrne has spent a lifetime around major college athletics. That background has allowed the younger Byrne to consistently develop and grow as a dynamic and impactful administrator with each new role he has undertaken. A native of Pocatello, Idaho, Byrne earned his bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in 1994 and his master’s degree from Mississippi State University in 2009. Byrne is married to the former Regina Misa of Junction City, Ore., and the couple has two sons, Nicholas and Davis.
Reminder: Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch starts promptly at 12 p.m. at The Harbert Center. Be sure to get there early and grab your seat. Registration is not required for members, but if you would like to bring a guest or attend as a potential new member, please contact VP of Recruitment Julian Grant.
