The University of South Dakota announced yesterday a new five-year contract extension for Athletic Director Jon Schemmel (Shem-ul), keeping him with USD through the 2030-31 academic year.
Since he arrived in 2024, the Coyotes have captured their first-ever Missouri Valley Football Conference Championship with back-to-back runs in the FCS playoffs. USD has also won numerous individual conference championships in Olympic events.
Schemmel’s tenure has also seen a record surge in fundraising. He closed the largest private family gift in the history of Coyote Athletics in 2025, resulting in the program’s first-ever endowed coaching position.
He has also created a $90 million master facility plan and secured a $20 million lead gift from T. Denny Sanford for the Gassen Family Fieldhouse.
Coyote Athletics has continued to see record successes with its annual fundraising efforts under Schemmel, raising over $49 million in the past two years and a record $35 million during the current academic year.
