Rutgers University has named Julie Hermann its new Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, continuing its move away from the abuse scandal that roiled the campus earlier this year.
Hermann, who spent 15 years at Louisville, most recently as Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director, would be the only female athletic director in the Big Ten when Rutgers joins the conference in the fall of 2014. She’ll be only the third woman in the country to head a Division I, Football Bowl Subdivision athletic department when she starts her new position on June 17.
