As the first Athletic Director of Kennesaw State University, James `Spec' Landrum has watched the athletic department grow from a nonexistent entity to a dominating athletic powerhouse that sponsored 11 sports with 175 student-athletes, coaches and administrators. In 1981, he helped initiate the first intercollegiate athletic program at KSU. Asked to organize and administer the department by Dr. Betty Siegel, Landrum went to work immediately. In the span of five years, Kennesaw State boasted nine strong teams including tennis, golf, basketball, baseball and softball. In 1982, he was named Athletic Director emeritus of KSU.
