Career
Angelos was the athletic director of Florida Atlantic University from 2003 to 2012. Angelos's contract expired in March 2012. His tenure at FAU included the construction of the FAU Stadium, balanced budgets, and the move of the football team from the Division I FCS to the Division I FBS.

After leaving FAU, Angelos had stints at the University of South Florida, Florida International University, Temple University, and Long Island University.

On May 12, 2023, Angelos was recommended by University of Hawaiʻi president David Lassner to become the school's athletic director. Unlike previous candidates for AD, Angelos required confirmation from the board of regents in order to be approved due to changes in state law. Angelos was approved by an 8-2 vote on May 18, 2023. After being hired, Angelos gave fundraising and finding a permanent stadium for the football team as his top priorities. Angelos also aims to secure charter flights for the athletic teams, who normally have to fly to away games on commercial airlines. In February 2024, the university received a $1 million endowment to support student-athletes who had attended high schools in the state.
