À propos de cet audio

 The past 12 months at IU has seen Hoosier football enjoy success at a level never approached in the nearly 140 years Indiana has played. Head coach Curt Cignetti was hired, led his team to the first double-digit win season in IU history, and he was named national coach of the year by several organizations. IU men’s basketball saw transition as well, with new head coach Darian DeVries being hired, bringing a new excitement to the program.

Women’s basketball has continued its historic run of success, IU men’s soccer continues to win Big Ten championships and reach the NCAA Tournament, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving dominated its competition. All of this while college sports undergoes massive changes, from the transfer portal to name, image, and likeness rights, and a host of other shifts that make envisioning the future an incredible challenge.

It’s a good thing the IU Department of Athletics is led by an O’Neill grad.

Scott Dolson has been Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at IU since July 2020, and his management of the IU athletic department in our ever-evolving world has been remarkable to watch. Scott has provided a rudder during this tumultuous time, and he has set an example for all who work for him about what the idea of “leading for the greater good” looks like in practice. Not only have IU teams thrived on their respective fields or courts or pools, but the student-athletes are given the resources needed to excel academically while pursuing their athletic dreams.

In recognition of Scott’s service to his community, the student-athletes, and to Indiana University, the O’Neill School has selected him for its 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award, the highest honor given to an O’Neill graduate.

Scott is a 1988 graduate of the O’Neill School where he earned his bachelor’s degree in management while also serving as the head manager for the IU men’s basketball team. He joined the staff of the IU Varsity Club in 1989, eventually rising to become director of the Varsity Club, and he became part of the IU Athletics Department as deputy director and chief operating officer in 2009.

Today, we’re honored to welcome Scott Dolson to O’Neill Speaks. Scott, thanks so much for joining us!
