  • The Texas–Arlington Mavericks (abbreviated UTA, and Mavs) are the athletic teams that represent the University of Texas at Arlington. The Mavericks compete in the NCAA Division I Sun Belt Conference in 14 varsity sports. UTA was a founding member of the Southland Conference in 1963 and participated in the league until the end of the 2011-12 athletic year. They joined the Western Athletic Conference for one year before they moved to the Sun Belt. UT Arlington won the Southland Conference's Commissioners Cup three times since the award was first instituted in 1998. The Commissioner's Cup is awarded to the athletics program with the highest all-around performance in all conference events, including all men's and women's events. A new arena called the College Park Center is now the host facility for basketball and volleyball home games as well as other university activities. It also houses much of the Athletic Department staff, which relocated from the Gilstrap Athletic Center at Maverick Stadium. The arena opened February 1, 2012 and seats approximately 7,000 people. The Mavericks' team name selection was made in 1971, predating the National Basketball Association's expansion franchise Dallas Mavericks' starting choice in 1980. Jim Baker is the current Athletic Director. Prior to his stint at UTA, he was an associate athletic director for events, operations and sports programs for the Texas Longhorns at the University of Texas at Austin. Baker replaced Pete Carlon, who headed the Athletic Department from 1996 to 2012, and is currently the Senior Athletics Director for Administration.
