Few collegiate athletics administrators have experienced the long-term success that Joe Castiglione has enjoyed at the University of Oklahoma.
 
In his 28th year at the helm of the legendary program, he leads an OU Athletics Department that hardly resembles the one that welcomed him in July of 1998. From conference realignment — now in the Southeastern Conference after 28 years in the Big 12 — to fundraising records and significant growth in capital projects, Castiglione has shaped and stewarded the department’s widespread and longstanding success. In fact, the Sooners have won 26 of their 45 team national championships since he arrived in Norman. He has celebrated 117 conference titles in that same period.
 
By creating a positive culture based on core values, a dynamic vision and a collaborative spirit, Castiglione has made OU Athletics a “destination of choice” and a world-class experience for student-athlete development.
