Big news out of Nashville on Tuesday as Vanderbilt AD Malcolm Turner has resigned from his post after just one year on the job. Turner officially took over for AD duties at Vanderbilt on Feb. 1, 2019.

Turner was the president of the NBA’s G League before Vanderbilt hired him. During his time with the school, Turner replaced basketball coach Bryce Drew with former NBA player Jerry Stackhouse.

With Turner stepping down, Vanderbilt has named former Commodore student-athlete Candice Storey Lee as the school’s interim vice chancellor for athletics. Lee is a three-time graduate of Vanderbilt and was a captain on Vanderbilt’s women’s basketball team.

Lee becomes the first woman to lead Vanderbilt’s athletics programs and the first African American woman to head any athletic program in SEC history.

Vanderbilt University Interim Chancellor and Provost Susan R. Wente offered this statement following the news:

“Candice embodies the Vanderbilt Way, which is our commitment to ensuring that student-athletes excel on the field of play, academically and in life. Candice is a trailblazer. Her unparalleled work ethic, energy and vision, and steadfast commitment to the Commodore family, will only build on our momentum.”

Lee also offered up a statement upon accepting the job:

“As someone who can personally appreciate the value of Vanderbilt’s unique student-athlete experience, I can say without reservation that we are building on a storied legacy of excellence and achievement—in athletics and in academics,” Lee said. “Vanderbilt is a special place, and this is a very exciting time—we are charting the future course of Vanderbilt Athletics. I am excited to work with our coaches, our staff and our student-athletes as we move forward.”
