On November ninth, LSUs new president, Wade Rousse, was selected in an unconventional process. Rousse, along with University of Alabama Provost James Dalton, met privately at the LSU presidents house just days before the boards decision. Governor Jeff Landry had previously endorsed Rousse due to his business-oriented approach. Despite public criticism over his lack of experience at a large research university, Rousse and Dalton agreed to a shared leadership arrangement, with Rousse overseeing athletics and the entire university system, and Dalton focusing on academics and research at the flagship campus. This unique dual leadership structure was praised by board chair Scott Ballard, marking the end of a quiet yet aggressive campaign by Rousse and his supporters.
