When Ivan Marquez first arrived on the scene of the Concordia College New York athletics department, he knew he had his work cut out for him. As the school's new athletics director in 1995, he encountered “a disheveled organization and physical plant clearly exhibiting the results of not only being underfunded by industry standards, but perceived as underfunded, thus, treated as a nuisance and expected to fail, both by internal and external constituencies,” Marquez said.
