Steratore will step into the new role of G-MAC Supervisor of Football Officials for the 2022 season. He will provide the conference supervision of the G-MAC football officiating crews, including hiring, assigning, training and evaluation.
The 35-year veteran of officiating will oversee the selection and assignment of officials for all football contests hosted by Great Midwest member institutions. The move comes after the retirement of Craig Griffith, who held the role previously.
The veteran official has also served in the same role for the Mountain East Conference (MEC) and the Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC) for a combined 23 years. His officials in both leagues have continuously been selected for post-season assignments.
Steratore spent 33 years officiating football at various levels including 15 years as an official for the National Football League (NFL). His time in the NFL saw him selected to officiate in 14 total playoff games including two conference championships as well as being chosen as the alternate referee for Super Bowl XLIV and as the referee in Super Bowl LII. Steratore also spent 35 years officiating basketball with 23 of those years at the college level across ten NCAA Division I conferences.
A graduate of Kent State University, Steratore is also the father of three children: Natalie, Gene, and Andrew.
