Quote:Clemson Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich was named the 2017 Athletic Director of the Year at the Sports Business Awards on Wednesday night. Radakovich becomes the third athletic director from the ACC to be honored since the award's inception in 2008, and he was also named a finalist for the award in 2015.

During the 2016-17 year, Clemson claimed the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship and won ACC titles in football, men's golf, baseball, football and women's soccer. Clemson student-athletes posted a 91% graduation success rate (tied for sixth nationally among public schools) and recently tallied a school-record 3.00 spring semester GPA. Six programs had perfect 1000 NCAA APR scores, and five programs achieved perfect 100% graduation rates, while 132 student-athletes graduated in December and May.

Financially, department revenue eclipsed $100m for the first time in FY17, up from $69m in FY14, and the department has completed nearly $200m in capital projects since 2014 while reserves remain near the same levels.
