Multiple sources have confirmed to Missourinet that the University of Missouri is set to hire Jim Sterk as the school’s next athletic director.  Sterk is currently the AD at San Diego State.

Sterk has been in San Diego since February 2010.   Prior to his time at SD State, Sterk was athletic director at Washington State for ten years.  He was also AD at Portland State from 1995-2000.

Sterk has been successful with the Aztecs.  Just completing his seventh season, Sterk has overseen the most successful period of time in SDSU history. During his tenure, 50 teams have advanced to NCAA championship with 20 of those squads finishing in the top 25 at national championship events. Since 2012-13, a total of 32 Aztec teams have won conference championships.

In addition, Sterk has overseen SDSU’s success in the classroom (including record numbers of scholar-athletes and APR highs), as well as a school-record $5.6 million in scholarship donations through the Aztec Club.
