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LaBarbera has been replaced by Charles Small and we will get to know him soon, but today we wanted to connect with Mr.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.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
