Jeremiah Donati describes himself as a people person, but he wasn’t sure what to think about so many people showing up to hear his first words as TCU’s new athletic director.
In other words, he was nervous.
“Wow. Let me take a moment to soak all this in,” he told a gathering of 200 staff, coaches, athletes and reporters Monday at the Four Sevens Team Room at TCU, where Chancellor Victor Boschini announced the promotion. “I’ve dreamt about this day for a long time.”
Donati, deputy athletic director since 2016, succeeds Chris Del Conte, who was introduced as the athletic director at Texas hours earlier.
