PHILADELPHIA - Vincent James has been been named Temple University's Athletics Business Manager, announced Associate AD for Finance and Administration Tim Thiess. James comes to Temple from La Salle University where he spent the past two years in a similar role.
"We are very excited to bring Vinnie to Temple as our Athletics Business Manager," said Thiess. "His strong financial background will be a valuable asset to our department."
James was hired at La Salle in 2012, and spent two years as Athletics Business Manager for the Explorers.

"I am extremely grateful for this opportunity," said James, "and I'm excited to join an athletics department with such a promising future ahead and so many talented student-athletes as the ones representing Temple."
Prior to his time at La Salle, James spent a year at Villanova University as an intern in the Athletic Director's office. His responsibilities at Villanova were widely varied, and included working with the business office as well as providing administrative support and serving as event manager for women's soccer.
James is a 2007 graduate of Bloomsburg University with a bachelor's degree in political science. He was a four-year varsity starter and two-year team captain for Bloomsburg's baseball team, and he went on to earn a master's in business administration from Bloomsburg in 2009. While completing the MBA program, James served as a graduate assistant baseball coach.
After receiving his MBA, James spent a year working for SNI Companies (Accounting Now) in Princeton, N.J. as a staffing manager.
