A Louisiana Legend and one of the greatest college baseball coaches of all time, J. Stanley “Skip” Bertman has made the seamless transition into the athletics director’s chair with the same enthusiasm, vision and demand for excellence that were trademarks of his stellar coaching career. The 2007-08 season will mark Bertman’s final year as LSU athletics director. After his tenure ends on June 30, 2008, he will remain at LSU as athletics director emeritus through 2010, working as a vital fund-raiser for the university. In six years as LSU’s director of athletics, Bertman has added to his impressive list of on-the-field achievements. Under his direction, LSU has enjoyed arguably the greatest athletics seasons in the history of the institution. The 2006-07 season saw 12 LSU teams finish among the nation’s top 25, including a No. 3 final ranking for the football team and a fourth consecutive Final Four appearance by the women’s basketball squad. The LSU men’s and women’s track and field teams each finished No. 2 in the nation. In 2005-06, LSU joined North Carolina (1997-98) as the only schools to have their football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams all finish in the nation’s Top 5.
