Shareef Amer, an athletics administrator with more than 11 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics, is Cal State San Bernardino’s new athletic director. Amer comes to CSUSB after having served in an executive leadership capacity at California State University, Northridge. Amer joined CSUN in 2018 as the associate athletics director for compliance before being elevated to associate athletic director for administration and operations in February 2019. Amer joined CSUN after spending nearly three years working within the Office of Athletic Compliance at the University of Southern California. Prior to USC, Amer worked in the compliance services office at the University of Michigan. Amer earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law. It was during his time at UT that Amer helped revive the school’s Sports and Entertainment and Law Society. After moderating the group’s first Sports Law Symposium – which included a panel discussion with a member of the NCAA Enforcement Staff, a prominent NFL agent, and the then-head coach of the University of Tennessee football team – Amer identified intercollegiate athletics administration as his preferred career path.
