Report: Chad Weiberg’s Contract ‘Will Be Addressed in Due Time’
Weiberg has been working without a contract since the end of June.
Oklahoma State athletic director Chad Weiberg has been working without a contract since the end of June. An OSU official said Friday that Weiberg’s contract “will be addressed in due time.”
The Friday report comes from The Oklahoman‘s Scott Wright, and the Tulsa World’s Bill Haisten. Wright also reported the news back in July that Weiberg was working without a contract. A Haisten column from earlier this week brought questions as to whether Weiberg’s contract would be renewed. The OSU/A&M Board of Regents met in Langston on Friday, where Kyle Wray, OSU’s senior vice president for system affairs, spoke to reporters afterward about Weiberg’s contract status.
“Chad is committed to our student-athletes and our coaches, and our president (Jim Hess) is committed to Chad’s energy and dedication to them,” Wray said. “I think the contract will be addressed in due time. Today wasn’t (the right time), but when it’s time to have that discussion, we’ll have it.”
Weiberg replaced a retiring Mike Holder as OSU’s athletic director in July of 2021. Weiberg’s deal was worth $750,000 a year for four years.
He graduated from OSU in 1994 with a degree in business administration and worked as OSU Athletics’ director of corporate sales and donor relations from 1994 to 1999. He was in various roles at OSU until 2004 when he left for Kansas State, working his way up to a K-State associate AD in 2009. Weiberg served as Texas Tech’s deputy athletic director from 2015 through 2017 before he moved back to Stillwater to serve as Holder’s deputy AD until Holder retired in 2021.
It must be a crazy time to be an athletic director, with all the conference realignment and NIL turning the landscape upside down. OSU has won three national titles — equestrian (2022), men’s cross country (2023) and men’s golf (2025) — thus far in Weiberg’s tenure. He’s made four coaching hires: Jacie Hoyt, David Taylor, Steve Lutz and Annie Young.
