SAN ANTONIO — The University of Texas System approved a contract extension through 2029 for UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos.
Since taking the reigns in 2017, Campos has struck gold on almost every coaching hire she's made, turning the Roadrunners into serious contenders throughout several programs. She was also a big part in leading UTSA into the American Athletic Conference in 2023.
“I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Eighmy and the UT System,” Campos said. “It is an honor to continue to represent our student-athletes, UTSA and the city of San Antonio. This commitment will allow us to continue to pursue excellence in academics, athletics and community engagement. I also want to share how appreciative I am for my partnerships with Executive Vice Presidents Heather Shipley and Veronica Salazar, in addition to Roadrunner Foundation President Gene Dawson, and for their collaborations with me.”
The extension was approved by the Executive Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs and is the second contact extension Campos has received during her tenure at UTSA.
“It is a real pleasure for me to extend Lisa’s contract in this fashion,” UTSA President Taylor Eighmy said. “Lisa is held in the highest regard within the NCAA, American Athletic Conference, state of Texas D1, and San Antonio sports communities. She has led our athletics enterprise with vision, boldness, integrity and collaboration. I know I speak for so many of our advocates, partners and philanthropic supporters when I say she is an incredible asset for our university and our community here in San Antonio.”
Campos has led various projects that have only contributed to the program's success. And over the next five years, UTSA Athletics is set to construct player development centers for baseball and softball along with a nutrition performance center for all student-athletes and a covered football pavilion.
On a national level, Campos has served on the NCAA Division I Council, a high-level group responsible for the day-to-day decisions that impact NCAA Division I athletics. She recently was selected to be a part of the NCAA’s FBS Football Oversight Committee.
Campos has played a big role in getting UTSA to host the 2018 NCAA Men’s Final Four and 2021 Women’s Final Four, along with landing the 2025 Men’s Final Four and 2029 Women’s Final Four.
