Trevecca athletic director Mark Elliott will retire in 2027

Mark Elliott, who guided Trevecca from NAIA to NCAA Division II membership and became the school's longest-serving athletic director, announced his retirement on July 28 following the conclusion of the 2026-27 academic year.

Elliott, a former Vanderbilt basketball and baseball player, led Trevecca through two conference transitions since being hired in 2011. It was Elliott's first time serving as an athletic director, and he was hired one day after Trevecca announced the NCAA had accepted its application for Division II membership.
