University of South Dakota Athletics

Dan Radigan ('79) has been a major part of South Dakota and the university community for over five decades, spanning back to 1968 when he was a ball boy for the Coyotes under then Athletic Director John Ronning.
 
Most notably, Radigan was a co-founder of the Howling Pack in the early 1990s which at the time served as an independent support group for Coyote Athletics. He served as president of the Howling Pack in its early years. When the Howling Pack was incorporated with the university as the athletic department's official booster club, then Associate AD Dave Williams asked Radigan to return as the Howling Pack's president, in which Radigan has faithfully served this role, working with every AD since Jack Doyle.
 
Beyond his Howling Pack contributions, Radigan has served as a University of South Dakota trustee for many years. His businesses, Radigan Enterprises and Whimp's, have consistently supported USD Athletics in various ways.
 
Radigan has also served in strategic planning committees, helping with the creation of the long-term vision for Coyote Athletics.
 
He earned his degree in Criminal Justice from USD in 1979. His wife, Melissa ('80) also earned her degree from USD. They have three sons: Scott, Nick, and Patrick, plus six grandchildren. They've lived in Sioux Falls since 1979 and spent his career in the restaurant business.
