John Weber named Colorado State University Athletic Director

Colorado State University has a new athletic director. John Weber has been serving as interim CSU athletic director since February when Joe Parker stepped aside from his AD role to become what the university called a “special advisor” to CSU’s president. 

In a statement, CSU President Amy Parsons said, in part, “I’ve worked closely with John during his time as executive director of the Green and Gold Guard – CSU’s NIL collective – and as interim AD. I am confident that he has the vision, experience and skills necessary to lead Rams Athletics into the future. Over the last few months, John secured an agreement to retain Coach Niko Medved, who has led our men’s basketball program to the NCAA tournament two of the last three years. He has built strong relationships with coaches, student-athletes, staff, donors and fans. John is bringing a fresh approach to the way we provide support and resources to all our programs and student-athletes, has already implemented new revenue-generation initiatives so our programs are financially strong, and is thinking creatively about enhancements to our fan experiences and in-game activations.”
