Troy Austin's Foundation as Athletic Director Led to Longwood Championships
For every Big South Conference trophy that Longwood wins, Troy Austin deserves at least a pat on the back. In his 12 years as athletic director and the first in the Division I era, Austin helped bring Longwood into the Big South and hired coaches that brought conference championships to Farmville. Troy Austin left Longwood and returned to his alma mater at Duke in October of 2018 as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Internal Affairs. He now oversees all athletics fundraising for the Blue Devils as the Deputy Athletic Director for Development.
