Kuykendall arrives in Tampa after spending six years as the men's basketball contact at Western Michigan University. Promoted to associate director of media relations in August of 2003, Kuykendall

"We are extremely fortunate to add Scott to our staff," says assistant athletics director John Gerdes. "He brings an outstanding background and we believe he will be a tremendous asset to our sports information team."
Kuykendall began his career with a pair of internships at Cincinnati (1997-98) and Mississippi State (1998-99) before moving on to WMU.
A native of New Berlin, Wis., he graduated from UW-Platteville in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in broadcast technology management, minoring in journalism.
