Valpo Athletic Director Retires
(St. Louis, MO) – We had the great opportunity to interview the retiring Mark LaBarbera. After 18-years as the Valparaiso Director of Athletics, he retired on June 30. Mr. LaBarbera is a classy, professional and kind administrator and man.
LaBarbera has been replaced by Charles Small and we will get to know him soon, but today we wanted to connect with Mr. LaBarbera at least one more time.
Here is our full conversation. You’ll be interested to know that he believes Valpo is in a great spot and that college athletics has some very significant challenges and some recent college athletics changes are not good for the student-athletes.

As we near the closing of the portal window, we've reached 1900. Some of them never to play college basketball again, earn a college degree and some to play at a much lower level than they did last season.
I guess we'll be seeing this in a @RacersHoops uniform this year. Glad AJ is staying in the @ValleyHoops.
