a .new .head . football . coach, .completing .a .$5 .million .capital .campaign .for .the .new .baseball .stadium, .initi-ating .a .series .of .major .renovations .to .existing .athletic .facilities . and . drastically . improving . the . departments .APR . . . The .APR .improvement .did .not .go .unnoticed . .Mas-saro .was .appointed .to .a .panel .on .APR .Improvement .Plans .for .the .2008 .NCAA .Convention .after .the .Blue .Raiders .went .from .a .908 .when .he .arrived .to .an .im-pressive . jump . to .936 . following . the .2006-07 .year . .A .big .reason .for .the .improvement .was .the .football .pro-gram .going .from .a .nation .low .812 .to .a .901 .during .that .span . . . On .December .12, .2005, .Massaro .made .his .high-est profile hire when he selected Rick Stockstill to take .over .the .football .program . .Stockstill .became .just .the .second .head .coach .in .the .I-A .era .at .Middle .Ten-nessee and in his first season led the Blue Raiders to a league championship and their first bowl appear-ance .in .the .I-A .era . . . There .was .little .time .for .Massaro .to .take .a .break .from . the . rigors . of . the . previous . hectic . months . be-cause .in .February .2006, .still .less .than .a .year .from .his .hiring .date, .the .ambitious .administrator .unveiled .the .first capital campaign for Blue Raider athletics.

and .has .provided .an .opportunity .for .economic .impact .and .national .exposure, .giving .Middle .Tennessee .the .possibility .of .hosting .national .tournaments . .
