Brad Rothermel

Brad Rothermel, former athletic director at Nevada Las Vegas, confirmed that he is a candidate for a similar position at UC Irvine.

Brad Rothermel, former UNLV athletic director, says university President Robert Maxson asked him in the fall of 1984 if there was any evidence that could lead to the dismissal of then-basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian. Rothermel, testifying before a legislative committee investigating Tarkanian's resignation last year, said Maxson called him to his office shortly after taking over the presidency of the Las Vegas school in 1984.

Brad Rothermel, athletic director at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, met with officials from the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. in an effort to resolve the case of Rebel basketball Coach Jerry Tarkanian. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in December that the NCAA does not have to afford a coach due process, overturning a ruling by the Nevada Supreme Court, which had issued an injunction preventing the suspension of Tarkanian in a case going back to 1977.

Brad Rothermel, one of two finalists for the job of athletic director at UC Irvine, has withdrawn from consideration because his demands for dramatically increased athletic funding will not be met, Rothermel said Monday night. The remaining finalist is Vic Cegles, an assistant athletic director at Arizona State.

UC Irvine is stepping up negotiations with Brad Rothermel, the former Nevada Las Vegas athletic director, as it seeks to meet its goal of naming an athletic director by Nov. 1.

Brad Rothermel, former Nevada Las Vegas athletic director, is one of three finalists for the UC Irvine athletic director job. The others are Vic Cegles, an assistant athletic director for development at Arizona State, and Fairleigh Dickinson Athletic Director Roy Danforth.
