Under Sterk's watch, San Diego State has the nation's third-highest combined winning percentage in football and men's basketball (75.2) this decade, trailing only Ohio State and Louisville.
Jim Sterk, San Diego State's athletic director since February 2010, has resigned to take the same position at the University of Missouri, starting Sept. 1, San Diego State announced Monday. Sterk, 60, will succeed Mack Rhoades, who resigned last month to take over at Baylor, effective Sept. 1.
Jenny Bramer, executive associate athletic director, has been named Sterk's interim replacement at SDSU.
Jim Sterk's stock skyrocketed after he was named one of the NCAA's top four Division I athletic directors earlier this year, and then was added to the powerful NCAA men's basketball committee.
