The head of the table at the ULM athletics department was vacated last Monday as athletic director Scott McDonald resigned from his position.
His announcement came just before the beginning of fall sports in Monroe.
McDonald said ULM athletics has made improvements during his four-year term as athletic director, including a $6 million investment into renovating athletics facilities. However, moving forward, he says that “it’s time to pass the baton to the next leader.” After speaking with ULM president Ronald Berry about the direction of athletics, he felt it was time to resign.
“As we visited about that, deciding on how to execute on these pieces, it occurred to me now is the time to move back into the financial services industry,” McDonald said.
