This week on The Pivot, Ryan Clark sits down with Dr. William F. Tate IV — fresh off his transformative tenure as president at LSU — as he takes on a new challenge: leading Rutgers University. In this candid and inspiring conversation, Dr. Tate opens up about the journey from his groundbreaking role as LSU’s first African American president and first in SEC history to his vision for shaping the future of higher education in New Jersey.

Ryan and President Tate get into the recent news around firing of LSU football coach, Brian Kelly (a hire Tate helped make) as well as long time Athletic Director Scott Woodward which led to the naming of Verge Ausberry as his predecessor to oversee Tiger's athletics. Tate openly shares what goes into the process, the success of all LSU sports and the importance of state universities working in harmony with state governors.

They dive deep into leadership, legacy, and the lessons learned along the way — from navigating the pressures of big-time college athletics in the SEC to building a campus culture grounded in equity, excellence, and innovation. Ryan and Dr. Tate explore how faith, mentorship, and resilience have guided him, and what it means to “pivot” from success into significance.

Whether you’re a fan of college sports, education, or powerful personal stories, this episode delivers wisdom, humor, and heart from one of higher education’s most dynamic leaders.
