Utah State has named Paul Finn as the assistant athletic director for Aggies Unlimited, the school announced Friday.

Finn, who has been an assistant athletic director at Washington State since 2009, will oversee the Big Blue Scholarship Fund, outbound ticket sales and ticket operations at Utah State.

"We are thrilled to have Paul's experience at USU," said deputy athletic director Jana Doggett.

Finn joins the Aggies after serving as the assistant athletic director for ticket sales and service at Washington State. In Pullman, he directed all ticket sales and service. He created and oversaw the first outbound sales team in school history. The Washington State outbound sales team generated more than $1 million of active ticket sales in two years under Finn. Additionally, Finn managed the ticketing and sales of the new premium seating addition to Martin Stadium.

Prior to Washington State, Finn was a member of the Boise State ticket office from 2004-09. He served as box office manager from 2005-09. Finn earned an undergraduate degree in communications from Boise State and a master's in athletic administration from Idaho State.

"My family and I could not be more excited to join the Aggie family," Finn said. "Utah State is a special place. I hope to be able to help and contribute in any way I'm needed. I can't wait to get out and meet the fans and great donors."
