Last spring, 52 Bobcat student-athletes earned bachelor's degrees, 80 student-athletes were honored for maintaining a grade point average of 3.5 and above, and 166 were named to the SLC Commissioner's Academic Fall and Spring Honor Rolls.

Flores came to Texas State in April 2009, after serving the previous five years at Kansas State as the assistant athletic director for compliance. His duties at Kansas State included monitoring all NCAA and Big 12 Conference compliance issues as well as working with initial and continuing eligibility, coordinating camps and clinics for Kansas State coaches, recruiting issues, along with issues involving student-athlete welfare.

A native of Alamogordo, N.M., Flores went to Kansas State after serving as a compliance coordinator and academic advisor in a four-year stint at New Mexico. He was named a compliance coordinator after serving as the academic advisor for men's basketball, women's soccer along with men's and women's golf in his first two years with the Lobos.

Prior to his arrival at New Mexico in May 2000, Flores was an academic advisor at Texas Tech for two years from 1998-2000, where he concentrated his efforts on the Red Raider football and men's basketball teams.

In 1997, Flores went to work at his alma mater, UTEP, and was instrumental in developing an advising program for student-athletes while serving as the interim program coordinator for UTEP athletics.

A former quarterback at UTEP, Flores earned Western Athletic Conference All-Academic honors in 1987 and received his bachelor's degree in criminal justice in 1996.
