Anton Goff was named assistant athletics director for the Terrapins' Academic Support and Career Development Unit (ASCDU) in June 2004 and promoted to Associate Athletic Director in June 2006. Goff, who served as an ASCDU assistant director from 1998 to 2001, returned to Maryland after four years as the Associate Director of Student-Athlete Support Services at Michigan State.

Goff is responsible for leading the Terps' academic support unit in providing quality developmental programs and need-based services that enhance academic progress, facilitate career development and encourage the psychosocial growth of all student-athletes.

While at Michigan State, Goff served as the academic coordinator for the Spartan football team, where he was responsible for tracking the student-athletes' classroom efforts and monitoring progress toward their degrees in compliance with NCAA and Big Ten regulations. Goff was responsible for overseeing the tutoring programs and study table at MSU and coordinated a faculty/staff mentorship program. Goff supervised four full-time academic counselors/learning specialists, graduate students and several undergraduate tutors.

Prior to his tenure at MSU, Goff provided academic support for Maryland men's basketball, men's and women's track, men's and women's soccer and softball programs from 1998 to 2001. During his first stint in College Park, Goff was instrumental in the development of the Terrapin Student-Athlete Handbook and the implementation of educational programs concerning alcohol and drug abuse, academic integrity, gender violence and human diversity.

Goff earned a bachelor's degree in the administration of justice from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond in 1991, before receiving a master's degree in the same discipline from VCU two years later.
