Riverside, Calif. (April 23, 2021) – California Baptist University has named Tyler Mariucci as the director of Athletics as announced by CBU President Dr. Ronald L. Ellis on April 23.
“Tyler will bring exceptional leadership and experience in athletics administration to Lancer Nation,” Ellis said. “His background at several reputable programs with strong outcomes in generating external support and a commitment to the student-athlete experience both in the field of competition and in the classroom will allow us to build on our commitment to excellence in athletics and academics.”
Mariucci has worked in leadership roles at NCAA Division I institutions spanning the Big Ten, West Coast Conference and Mountain West Conference during great transformation and change, including multiple conference realignments and significant increases in revenue generation.
