LSU looking to extend Alleva's contract

per WWLTV
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Three years after Joe Alleva was chosen as LSU's latest athletic director, the university's governing board is being asked to keep him around until at least 2016.
LSU Chancellor Mike Martin is recommending an Alleva contract extension from 2013 to 2016. The LSU Board of Supervisors will consider the extension at its meeting Friday.
Martin praised Alleva's leadership of the Athletic Department, saying he continues to improve facilities and keep the department financially stable, while a majority of the school's teams continue to make it to post-season competition.
LSU's football program finished No. 8 in the country after its most recent season, but basketball and baseball programs have underperformed this year.
Alleva was leader of Duke University's sports programs for a decade before he came to LSU.

Baseball may be in trouble of not hosting a regional the second year in a row.. Things are not exactly looking up financially..

He's an athletic director not a coach. His job is to run the athletic department and make money for the department and school.

And that means make sure all sports have some sort of success, along with the major sports.

As Skip once said, his job is to coach the coaches.

Alleva has done a fine job.
What's he supposed to do, ax Manieri?!?
The Johnson hire hasn't gone as well as we hoped but it was a good hire for us at the time considering where we are in the pecking order of college basketball.

LSU EXTENDS CONTRACT OF VICE CHANCELLOR/ATHLETIC DIRECTOR JOE ALLEVA
BATON ROUGE – The LSU Board of Supervisors voted on Friday to extend the contract of Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva for three more years to June 30, 2016.
“Joe Alleva has performed effectively in his role over the last two and a half years and extending his agreement will ensure continued, stable and engaged leadership in the Athletic Department,” said LSU Chancellor Michael Martin who recommended the extension to the Board. “Under his leadership LSU continues to enjoy one of the most prolific and high-achieving athletics programs in America.”
Alleva became Director of Athletics in July of 2008 and he added the title of Vice Chancellor in August of 2009. His contract was originally set to expire in June of 2013.
“I want to thank Chancellor Martin, President Lombardi and the LSU Board of Supervisors for having the confidence in me to lead the LSU Athletics program,” Alleva said. “LSU is a special place and I thank our great fans for their support and passion. Our goals continue to be to win championships, prepare our student-athletes for the rest of their lives and provide a formula for the future of LSU Athletics. I truly look forward to the years ahead.”
Under Alleva’s leadership LSU continues to have one of the few athletics programs in the country that uses no state tax dollars and no student fees, and in fact transfers money back to the University each year.
During the 2009-10 athletic year, 17 of LSU’s 20 sports programs participated in NCAA post-season competition and seven of the 10 sports that have concluded their schedules in 2010-11 have reached NCAA post-season play. Six LSU teams posted Top 10 national finishes last season and 12 were ranked in the Top 25.
Alleva was recently named to the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for a five-year term that begins this fall.

we really do have some fricktarded fans.
My only complaints with alleva was his letter to Miles following the 2009-10 season, thought it wasn't very well thought out. And the new parking fees, but hey its a business and I get that.
