VERMILLION – University of South Dakota Athletic Director David Herbster will resign as of August 30.
Herbster will join Sanford Health on its community relations team in Sioux Falls.
Herbster became USD’s 13th athletic director in 2013 as the program made its transition to Division I athletics. Before that, Herbster had been, starting in 2007, a deputy athletic director, associate athletic director, and for a year starting in 2012, the Coyotes’ interim athletic director.
USD will begin a nationwide search for a new AD in January.
“The University of South Dakota thanks David for his exceptional service and dedication to our athletic program,” said USD President Sheila K. Gestring. “As an integral part of the Coyote community for the last decade, David’s leadership has left a lasting impact on the lives of our student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers and staff. USD’s athletic program has flourished over the past decade under his leadership, and we appreciate all his efforts in building a strong foundation for USD’s future athletic success.”
