STILLWATER — Chad Weiberg started his tenure as Oklahoma State’s athletic director with a joke on Thursday afternoon.
Weiberg was officially announced as OSU’s 13th athletic director in a news conference on Thursday inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. He was the first person new university president Kayse Shrum introduced after being tabbed as president earlier this summer.
“I hope you are president for a long time,” he said, “and I hope you have never have to introduce another athletic director.”
Weiberg spent the past four years as deputy AD under Mike Holder, who retired from the position after 16 years effective Thursday.
