Tim W. Selgo enters his 13th year as athletic director at Grand Valley State. He was appointed athletic director on February 12, 1996 and has put his own stamp of leadership on Laker athletics.

A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo has been a key figure in the Lakers' rise to the top of Division II athletics. Grand Valley State University won its fifth straight United States Sports Academy Directors' Cup in 2007-08, staking a claim as the top all-around athletic department in the country. GVSU is the first DII school to win the Directors' Cup five straight years. The prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), the United States Sports Academy and the USA TODAY to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In addition to the Lakers' five straight Directors' Cup titles (2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08), GVSU finished second in 2001-02 and 2002-03 in the Directors' Cup standings. Selgo, who is on the NCAA DII Budget and Finance Committee, was named the Division II Central Region Astroturf Athletic Director of the Year in 2006-07. Selgo was also honored as the Central Region AD of the Year in 2002-03. A well respected leader in college athletics, Tim was also appointed to be the president of both the NCAA DII Management Council and the GLIAC for 2008-09.

Grand Valley State turned in another record setting year, scoring a DII record 1,028.50 points. Eleven-of-14 teams that counted points towards the Directors' Cup recorded top-10 finishes. In addition, GVSU has won 10 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference President's Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 13-team GLIAC. The Lakers' 15 all-time President Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State has also won 81 GLIAC titles since 2000.

Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. The Laker Turf Building opened for all university activities in August. The Laker Turf Building will allow academic classes and athletic teams the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather. The 137,662 square foot facility will have a 100 x 55-yard fieldturf surface, a six-lane track with nine sprint lanes and batting cages that will drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team began play on its new field in 2008 and the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena is going through renovations. GVSU expanded its football stadium seating capacity to 8,550, added executive suites and a new scoreboard with a ProStar video display board. The GVSU Football Center, located in the north end zone of Lubbers Stadium, has been expanded by more than 4,000 feet, and a new track around the football field was installed in the summer of 1998. Lights were installed at Lubbers Stadium and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room was built in honor of the late Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions. The baseball and soccer fields have added press boxes, storage space and concession areas. In addition, the fieldhouse locker room project, that enabled every varsity sport at Grand Valley State to have its own locker room, was spearheaded by Selgo.

While at Toledo, Selgo was responsible for the day-to-day operations for Toledo's 10 women's and nine men's sports teams that competed at the Division I level in the Mid-American Conference. Selgo was instrumental in the marketing and promoting of all 19 sports that the Toledo athletic department sponsored.

A native of Pettisville, Ohio, Selgo was inducted into the Toledo Athletic Hall of Fame in February of 2001. He was a standout basketball player at Toledo from 1977-80, earning four varsity letters. The Rockets posted a four-year record of 87-26 during Selgo's playing days on the hardwood. Selgo participated in two NCAA Midwest Regional Tournaments for Toledo. His 1978-79 Rocket squad claimed a first-round, 74-72, win over Iowa, before dropping a 79-71 decision to Notre Dame in the second round. In 1980, Selgo scored 18 points in Toledo's 94-91 loss to Florida State in a first-round NCAA Tournament game. Selgo was part of two MAC Championship teams (1978-79 and 1979-80) and was co-captain of the `79-80 squad. He earned Mid-American Conference All-Academic honors in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and was named Senior Scholar/Athlete-of-the-Year at Toledo in 1980. Known as an outstanding shooter, Selgo still holds the UT record for free throw percentage in a single-season, converting 92.3 percent (48-of-52) during the 1978-79 season. He also holds the Toledo career free throw percentage record in MAC games, hitting 86.1 percent (62-of-72) and the single-season Rocket mark for MAC games of 93.9 percent (31-of-33).

Selgo graduated from Toledo in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in physical education and a minor in mathematics. Following graduation, Selgo remained at Toledo as a graduate assistant for the Toledo men's basketball program and earned his master's degree in education administration in 1982. He then served as an assistant men's basketball coach at Toledo from 1982-1985.

In 1985 he was named head women's basketball coach at Toledo. Selgo served as head coach of the Rockets women's basketball program for three years, turning around a program that is now at the top of the MAC.

Selgo is married to the former Terry Bush and together the couple have three children: Jennifer (23), Rachel (21), and Daniel (15).
