Daryl James Gross (born June 20, 1961) is Vice President and Special Assistant to the Chancellor at Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York.^[1] Previously, he was the school's athletic director.

Gross received his bachelor's degree and played college football at University of California, Davis. Gross was a New York Jets scout when Pete Carroll was the Jets head coach, a relationship that led to him pushing for Carroll to be hired by USC.^[2]

Formerly, Gross coached and worked at the University of Southern California in intercollegiate athletics after being a graduate coaching assistant (while earning his doctorate). While serving as senior associate athletic director, Gross was credited for bringing in head coach Pete Carroll for the Trojans football team.^[3]^[4] In 2005, Gross became AD at Syracuse. In 2008, ESPN.com named Carroll's hiring #1 in a list of the Pac-10's Top 10 Moments Of BCS Era.^[5]

In 2015, the Syracuse men's basketball and football teams were placed on probation for academic and illegal benefits in March of 2015. ^[6] The NCAA investigation revealed that in January 2012, Gross arranged a meeting with other athletic and academic officials at Syracuse after basketball star Fab Melo was suspended for academic ineligibility to find a way to reinstate Melo. Ultimately, the group decided to seek a grade change for Melo, which Melo would earn through re-writing an essay from a previous class. Melo turned in his assignment, which was completed by basketball staffers instead of him. Melo was initially reinstated, but the university found Melo guilty of academic fraud and suspended him from the team in March.^[7]
