🔼 From Mohajir. In a letter to Knight Nation, UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir emphasizes the university's proactive and unyielding approach to leading the future of college athletics. He highlights that long-term success relies heavily on evaluating, recruiting, and developing the right student-athletes and coaches who align with UCF's core principles and culture, rather than simply trying to outspend competitors. Addressing ongoing shifts across college sports, such as movement surrounding the Protect College Sports Act, Mohajir assures fans that the department remains steadfastly rooted in its core values. Looking ahead, he expresses enthusiasm for the upcoming fall season and the 20th anniversary of the Bounce House as UCF continues to build momentum.
