From the LSU football board on Tate

[UMRU]

From the publisher, Shea Dixon of the On3 LSU football board:

"Dr. Tate is headed to Rutgers, sources confirm."

"Best of luck to him. Certainly was a man who valued education and athletics and was front and center to help recruit in any sport."

Sounds very promising.

I'd say the football budget is safe.

Sounds good to me.

Interesting enough, in 2004/2005 the only President who sat one on one with our family during all the recruiting visits was McCormick. And we had a good 30 minutes with him. I do like the hire.

It is about time for a college President , who by word of mouth , believes both sports and academic achievement can prosper at Rutgers. The AD job will be immensely important now. A visionary who can fill the pot with some some serious $$$$.

McCormick's father (also Richard) literally wrote the book on Rutgers history.

This is a critical hire at a critical time for universities nationwide. I wish President Tate well, as he leads us to continued academic success and hopefully athletic success. As the local LSU station said "Tate...will now be leading one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the country..."

We have the academic reputation, and we've known that for a while. Now let's get a great athletics reputation to go along with it!

That is nice to hear. If you look under that post on X, many people wished him well, and he responded to several of them. Seems like a really good people person.
