While details of Alleva’s expected departure remain murky, sources say a deal is in the works to replace him with a nationally recognized leader in university athletics. That announcement is also expected in the coming days.

Alleva, 65, came to LSU in 2008 from Duke University, where he had served as athletics director. He succeeded Skip Bertman and was chosen for the position from among four finalists by then-LSU President John Lombardi and Interim Chancellor William Jenkins.

While University officials have not commented on the report, the LSU Board Of Supervisors held an executive committee meeting Tuesday at 4 p.m. to discuss "potential litigation against the University."

Alleva was not present during the meeting, however, LSU President F. King Alexander and general counsel Tom Skinner were involved in the closed-door meeting with the board, according to The Advocate.
