Dr. Mark Cousins was named the athletic director of the University Interscholastic League on Wednesday.

Cousins, who has been serving as the interim athletic director since late January, has been the UIL policy director since 2009.

He replaces Cliff Odenwald, who resigned Dec. 31 to pursue other career opportunities.

Cousins' duties will include overseeing and coordinating UIL athletic activities and reclassification and realignment.

A graduate of UT and Buna High School, Cousins has worked with the UIL since 1994. He worked as the director of several sports before taking over as the Policy Director.

"Dr. Mark Cousins has an extensive knowledge of the UIL Constitution & Contest Rules and a great understanding of UIL athletic programs," said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt in a statement. "I have complete faith in Dr. Cousins in this new role, and I know that his leadership will help UIL athletics continue to succeed in the coming years."

Wow, the fact  that Buna has some tie to 2 of the last 3 AD of the UIL is amazing.

It is of my expert opinion that Dr. Mark Cousins, of Buna, Texas, will indeed make a fine and noteworthy new athletic director for The University Scholastic League....... Congratulations sir!
