South Carolina is reportedly targeting TCU’s Jeremiah Donati as athletic director

The TCU athletic department could soon be in for a big change.

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, South Carolina is pursuing TCU’s Jeremiah Donati as athletic director. Donati would take over a gig that began when South Carolina’s Ray Tanner took on a new role as the school’s athletic director emeritus and senior adviser to the school president.

Donati has played a key role in TCU’s athletic success since becoming the school’s athletic director in 2017. Donati took over the role for Chris Del Conte, who was hired at Texas.

Donati first came to TCU in 2011 and served as associate vice chancellor and associate athletics director for development. Under Donati, TCU has won eight team national championships and 11 Big 12 titles.

The 2022-23 season was one of his most successful at TCU. The football team reached the College Football Playoff, while the men’s basketball team made an NCAA tournament appearance. The baseball team also advanced to the College World Series.
