Sources: LSU removes AD Ausberry's interim tag

LSU has removed the interim tag and officially appointed Verge Ausberry as the school's athletic director, according to sources. Ausberry has been serving in an interim capacity since July 2022, following the departure of former AD Scott Woodward. The decision to make Ausberry the permanent athletic director comes after a thorough review process. Ausberry has been with LSU for over two decades, holding various leadership roles within the athletic department. His extensive experience and familiarity with the university's sports programs are likely key factors in his promotion. As the new athletic director, Ausberry will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of LSU's athletic operations, including managing budgets, coordinating with coaches, and ensuring the success of the university's sports teams. This appointment is seen as a crucial step in providing stability and continuity to the athletic department during a period of transition.
