  • Chad Weiberg in Stillwater, Oklahoma

    Chad Weiberg in Stillwater, Oklahoma
    Jul 7 2025
    Chad Weiberg assumed the role of Oklahoma State Vice President and Athletic Director in July of 2021 after having spent the previous four years as OSU's Deputy Athletic Director. The timing of his promotion to athletic director lined up with seismic shifts in the national landscape of college sports. Realignment within the Big 12 Conference and the emergence of Name, Image and Likeness both occurred within a month of Weiberg's start date. With that as the backdrop, in the modernized world of college athletics, Weiberg's four years in charge at OSU have piled up team and individual NCAA Championships. Weiberg has made three head coach hires, successfully recruiting Jacie Hoyt (women's basketball), Steve Lutz (men's basketball) and David Taylor (wrestling) to Stillwater. Oklahoma State hosted NCAA Championship events in men's and women's cross country (2022), wrestling (2023) and men's and women's tennis (2024) under Weiberg, providing the Cowboys and Cowgirls with added visibility on the national level. During his tenure as Deputy Athletic Director, he played a pivotal role in successfully navigating OSU Athletics through the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, he developed a partnership with the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences that helped produce the planning and resources to keep Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes healthy, safe, and ready for competition. Weiberg was a key figure in several important initiatives that benefited both student-athletes and fans. A little more than a year after Weiberg's arrival, OSU added a director of counseling and sport psychology position within the athletic department to serve the mental health needs of student-athletes better. Weiberg is a 1994 graduate of OSU with a degree in business administration. He earned a master's in business administration from OSU in 2002. After earning his undergraduate degree, he served as the director of corporate sales and donor relations for OSU Athletics until 1999. He served as senior director of field operations for the OSU Alumni Association from 1999-2002 before becoming the director of development for the OSU Foundation/College of Business Administration from 2002-03. He held a similar role for OSU Athletics from 2003-04 before moving to Kansas State. At K-State, Weiberg served the KSU Foundation as Director of Corporate Relations for a year before becoming the Director of Major Gifts for K-State Athletics in 2005. Weiberg assumed the lead role for K-State Athletics' Ahearn Fund in 2009 and, for his team's efforts, was recognized as the National Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors in 2014. Weiberg was the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development when he left K-State in 2015 to become the Deputy Director of Athletics at Texas Tech University, a role he served in for two years before returning to his alma mater in 2017. College athletics have played a key role in Weiberg's life from an early age. His father, Mick, and brother, Brett were both college basketball head coaches and his brother, Jared, played basketball at OSU under Eddie Sutton for a year before moving into the role of team manager. Weiberg's uncle, Kevin, served as commissioner of the Big 12. Weiberg and his wife, Jodi, have two children, Ella and Grant. *** Blueville Nursery in Manhattan, Kansas, sponsors the Life of Fitz podcast. *** Tim Fitzgerald is a sports journalist who writes, does TV, radio, daily YouTube videos, and is a long-time podcaster.
