The Athletic Director from 1960 through 1965 (my years at NT) and some beyond that was Dr. Jess Cearley. He was the head of the Men's Physical Education department and had the Athletic Director's job as an additional responsibility. That should tell you a lot about the state of North Texas athletics at that time. I am sure that others can list some of the more current ones.

Wasn't Jim White only at NT for like a couple days?

The Athletic Director when we joined the Missouri Valley Conference was Emmitt? Cambron.

I took driver's ed at NT (both in HS for my license and as a college student as a teacher)... and Ken Bahnsen (sp?) was in charge of the class/company/program. I seem to recall him saying that he was either the AD or Asst AD during the teaching part... Wasn't Fry both AD and Coach? And wasn't it normal back in the early days to have this arrangement? To have the AD and Football coach be the same person? Just curious... and does anyone know if Coach Bahnsen (I THINK that was his name, it was back in 1996) was ever the AD? Also, weren't the AD's and the track dept in bed for awhile so to speak? Maybe even more then the football dept?

Ken Bahnsen is one of my favorite people at North Texas but to the best of my knowledge he was never the Athletic Director.

Couldn't agree more. He still sits on the front row of, I think Section D, the upper level. Coach Bahnsen played for Kansas City in the NFL briefly and was the JV coach, I believe, when Haynes and King broke the color barrier at NT in the late 50's. Super person, but you are right, he was never the AD.
