Grand Valley State University Athletics

Tim Selgo was the architect of Grand Valley State athletics, and it was his vision that created the greatest athletics department at the NCAA Division II level. GVSU dominated the landscape, both regionally and nationally during his era and became the benchmark for Division II athletics. Grand Valley State claimed 19 team National Championships, 11 NACDA Directors’ Cup titles and 18 GLIAC Presidents’ Cup crowns during his 20-year career. A true leader, Selgo built a broad-base department that excelled in each of the Lakers’ 20 sports. In addition, he recruited a talented cast of coaches that earned 135 GLIAC Coach of the Year honors and 28 National Coach of the Year awards. He played a role on multiple NCAA committees, including serving as the Chair of the NCAA DII Management Council. Selgo served as the President of NACDA and was honored with the NACDA Lifetime Achievement Award.
