After a summer of searching for a new Athletic Director at San Diego State, the Aztecs found their replacement in John David Wicker. Wicker immediately comes from Georgia Tech, but has strong ties to SDSU where in 2011-2015 he served as Deputy AD under Jim Sterk.
His hiring essentially means the extension of the good times under Jim Sterk. Wicker oversaw the the general planning football, rowing and both men’s and women’s basketball. With the uncertainty of a suitable playing site for the football team and the economics of the Mountain West (read: Getting into a Power-5 conference) it seems imperative that Wicker builds upon the work of Sterk.
