White spent more than 50 years working in college athletics, with Athletic Director stops spanning 38 years at Loras College, Maine, Tulane, Arizona State, Notre Dame, and ultimately Duke from 2008-21 before his retirement from athletics administration. White was, and still is, considered a leading voice and influencer in college athletics. He occupied major leadership positions within the industry, including serving as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), president of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association, chair of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee, a Board of Directors member of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (2015-23), among many other roles.
Recently, White was honored with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) James J. Corbett Memorial Award, the highest honor one can achieve in collegiate athletics administration.
Currently, White serves as Duke's Vice President and Director of Athletics Emeritus, as well as a professor of the practice at Duke's Fuqua School of Business, where he teaches a popular course on sports business. He also works with the consulting firm Huron to assist institutional leaders in navigating the transformation of athletics and in developing best practices for college and university programs.
White's memoir The Good Sport relays his life's journey, relating it to the current state of intercollegiate athletics and how the future of the industry might be shaped. For more information on The Good Sport, please click the following link.
