"We can learn that leaner is better": Catching up with Director of Athletics Chris Massaro, Part 1

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — It has been a year of so many changes across the college athletics landscape, from continuing to get the COVID pandemic under control, to NIL deals and the Transfer Portal giving student-athletes more options than ever, to the dominos that fell from conference realignment over the fall.

Amidst all the change, Middle Tennessee Athletics continued its long tradition of excellence, with successful seasons across the athletic department during this spring semester, led by a Conference USA Championship from men's tennis and an individual C-USA Title for men's golfer Michael Barnard, an East Division title for Men's basketball, along with a WNIT Semifinal run for women's basketball.
