For more than 20 years, President Greer has supported Marlin athletics.

During his tenure, Marlin teams have garnered a National Championship in men's basketball in 2006; a Final Four appearance by women's soccer in 2006; 29 conference championships; 46 team NCAA appearances and 7 individual NCAA appearances; and 51 All-American honorees.

Batten Student Center for men's and women's basketball and volleyball; the Trinder Center and Foster Field for men's and women's soccer, men's and women's lacrosse and field hockey; and the Everett Tennis Center for men's and women's tennis.
