Damone Brown Named Bryant & Stratton Buffalo Director of Athletics

BUFFALO, NY - The Bryant & Stratton College Buffalo athletic department announced a personnel move on Friday, naming Damone Brown as the Director of Athletics, effective immediately.  Market Director Jeff Tredo announced the decision, one that is very much earned by Brown, who is also in his third season as the college's head men's basketball coach. 

"We are very excited as a college and athletic department to move Damone into this role," Tredo said.  "Damone has been an integral piece in building this program as he has been here since the beginning, and we're confident he can continue to be a leader for our student-athletes, staff and everyone at the college."

Buffalo Campus Director Dr. Marvel Ross-Jones has also served as the college's Athletic Director since athletics' inception in 2018.  She has played double-duty, leading both the college as a whole and overseeing athletic activities.  Having been with the school for 26 years now, Dr. Ross-Jones has juggled many tasks over the past three years, including overseeing a college location move to 110 Broadway.

"Dr. Ross-Jones has been wonderful, and I want to thank her for serving in this role," Tredo said.  "It is a tremendous amount of work and responsibility and she has handled it flawlessly while also providing outstanding leadership to the college in her role as Campus Director.  Having worked with Damone over the last three years, I have no doubt the athletic program's transition will be seamless."

Just barely into his third season as head coach of the men's basketball program, Brown is 39-25 as the head coach, leading the Bobcats to back-to-back trips to the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) National Tournament.  In addition to coaching, Brown has worked together with Dr. Ross Jones and Tredo to handle many daily tasks such as athletic scheduling, budget, recruiting, but most importantly, continuing to grow and build the Buffalo Bobcat brand.

"I'm very grateful and honored that Jeff Tredo and Dr. Ross-Jones have trusted me to move into this new role," Brown said.  "I have no doubt that we can take this program to the highest level and I look forward to working more with the staff and our student-athletes to continue to build a solid foundation while also setting and achieving more standards and goals."

The Bobcats' basketball programs are currently competing, while new sports including cross county, track & field, golf and esports will follow.  The college is continuing to look at adding more sports and having athletics be a staple of Bryant & Stratton College Buffalo.
