Commodore Marketing Partner Adds Associate GM As Well

NASHVILLE – ISP Sports, the exclusive multimedia rightsholder for Vanderbilt Athletics, has named Stacy Hall as the new general manager of its sales and marketing staff for the Commodores, while also adding Craig Turman as a new associate general manager.

Hall replaces Meghan Molnar, who has directed the ISP operation at Vanderbilt since the company’s partnership with the university was formed in 2000.  Molnar has accepted an administrative sales position with the company at its corporate headquarters in Winston-Salem, NC, with primary responsibilities involving ISP’s marketing efforts at Wake Forest University.

The move to Vanderbilt also represents a promotion for Hall to vice president status within ISP Sports.  He has served as an assistant VP and general manager for ISP’s staff at the University of Houston the past three years.  Hall also spent six years in sports marketing at Florida State, where he earned a doctorate degree in sports administration.

Turman joins the ISP office at Vanderbilt after two years on the company’s staff that handles both Marshall and Ohio University sales and marketing.  He also previously worked as a sales executive at the Georgia Dome.

Steve Walsh, who has been with Vanderbilt and ISP Sports since this past April, will continue in his role as an assistant general manager for all Commodore marketing and operations.

ISP Sports is in its sixth year as the rightsholder for Commodore Athletics.  As part of that agreement, the company produces and markets a variety of services, including radio play-by-play and call-in shows, television programming, stadium and arena signage, game programs, and corporate hospitality opportunities.  ISP also markets the university’s official athletics website, vucommodores.com.
