About Charles K. Crabb

A native of Brazil, Indiana, Chuck Crabb was introduced to PA announcing during high school, which began a lifelong passion. Crabb received a B.A. in journalism from Indiana University, and served as a student assistant with the sports department, and was a correspondent for the Herald-Times.

Crabb is currently serving as Indiana University's senior assistant athletic director for facilities, and is intricately involved with all capital and maintenance projects, including scheduling for the athletic venues on the Bloomington campus. He has maintained his voice as the iconic voice of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, that introduces the men's and women's basketball teams. Crabb played a key role as one of IU’s athletic staff members in the 2021 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. All of the games were played in central Indiana for COVID-19 safety reasons. Crabb met with NCAA professional staff members to discuss their specifications for the hosting venues, which included tours of the building. Crabb began his leadership experience at IU with a community relations job with the varsity club. Previous journalism experience includes time spent at the Tribune-Star in Terre Haute, as well as the Brazil Times.

In 2019, Crabb was honored with Indiana University’s Bicentennial Medal, in recognition of his distinguished service and longstanding support of the university.
