New LSU President Wade Rousse Comments On Verge Ausberry's Athletic Director Status

by Staff Reporter

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

Louisiana politics & higher education reporter Piper Hutchinson spoke with new LSU President Wade Rousse on Wednesday and asked about his decision to name Verge Ausberry the permanent Athletic Director.

quote:
I asked incoming LSU President Wade Rousse on decision to name Verge Ausberry the permanent AD. “I'll remove the interim [title] and then we'll assess the situation. I can't make a very good decision after being on that on the job for eight hours…”

“I don’t know know what permanent means versus removing the interim.”

Rousse said he doesn’t know very much about Ausberry’s involvement in the Title IX scandal.

“It was important for me to show stability,” Rousse said. “Verge has done a good job up until this point. I really need to dig deeper in terms of what we look like, to make sure we protect that global brand.”

If you don't know what "removing the interim tag" vs. "permanent" meant, then why did you remove it to "show stability"?

This guy just created instability with his statements...smdh

The only instability is coming from some of our fans. Everyone else understands we’re stabilized now that we have a President in charge.

It’s awesome that the new president of LSU system is confused by the meaning of words.

Oh, Louisiana... You never change.

That's some pretty creaky logic for an experienced university president.

"I don't know anything about the guy, but the Governor who put me in place told me to hire him"

I know the difference, give me his salary. I will hire my dog as head coach, and sign him to $60 mil contract for 2 years.

Word games.

Piper looks the part.

I still have a hard time believing that all of this crap hit the fan because LSU lost a game at home, with 2 freshman tackles, 2 hurt starters on d line, number 1 linebacker out.....the number 2 team in the country. Seriously?

And a 6-3 record

Bring back Willliam Tecumseh Sherman!

Bring back Orgeron at this point. Seems like the route we’re going. Yes men for political pockets.

Meanwhile Dr. Tate is probably shaking his head at all of this...
