CLEVELAND — Former Seattle University Director of Athletics Bill Hogan is among those named to the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) 2022 Hall of Fame Class of 2022, the association announced Wednesday. The full list of inductees includes: Jeff Bain, Martin Methodist College; Jim Fallis, University of Northern Colorado; Brenda Hampton, Iowa Western Community College; Bill Hogan, Seattle University; Bruce Rasmussen, Creighton University; Dennis Thomas, Hampton University; Charlie Titus, University of Massachusetts Boston; and Kevin White, Duke University. The honorees will be recognized in conjunction with the 57th Annual NACDA & Affiliates Convention at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, prior to the Featured Session on Monday, June 27 at 4 p.m.
Hogan dedicated nearly 35 years of his career to serving as an athletics director, beginning at his alma mater, St. Joseph's College (Indiana) from 1981-91, the University of San Francisco (1991-2006) and Seattle University (2006-16).
As the youngest athletics director in the NCAA in 1982, Hogan led what is regarded as one of St. Joseph's College's greatest decades of athletics achievement. He directed major facility projects, including a student recreation center and football field press box. Hogan also served as head men's basketball coach and a tenured associate professor of business during that time, where he was voted "Professor of the Year" as a member of the business administration faculty by the Student Senate. Hogan was inducted into the St. Joseph's College Hall of Fame in 1998.
While leading the athletics department at San Francisco, Hogan secured the largest donation at the time for athletics at the university and completed major capital renovations for War Memorial Gym and the baseball and soccer stadiums. San Francisco athletics achieved the highest level of competitive success in 2004-05 and 2005-06 since 1948, including the first ever West Coast Conference (WCC) Commissioner's Cup, and tied the school record for the greatest number of sport teams earning NCAA Tournament berths. Hogan was recognized by NACDA as Athletics Director of the Year (ADOY) for his efforts during the 1999-2000 academic year. He also served as the first President of DI-AAA ADA in 2001-02.
Under Hogan's watch at Seattle U, for the first time in the history of the NCAA, a college or university successfully transitioned from Division II back to Division I status after a 33-year absence. Hogan increased Seattle' Us athletics revenue generation from $30,000 to $3.15 million in 10 years, and successfully completed the NCAA Division I Certification process. He led the charge for adding six sports, tripled the athletics budget and doubled the number of student athletes with exceptionally high graduation rates and APR scores. Hogan also developed substantial radio and TV contracts and upgraded facilities, including a new softball field, women's basketball and volleyball renovations, soccer field and lighting improvement, an athletics administration building, and baseball synthetic turf all valued at over $34 million. Seattle U athletics teams won 31 Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championships from 2012-16 during Hogan's tenure.
Hogan's committee service in Seattle included the Seattle Sports Commission Executive Council, Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Seattle Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the Seattle University Board of Trustees Advancement Committee and Athletic Oversight Committee, and the Executive Council of Special Olympics Washington.
