VERMILLION, S.D. – Coyote Sports Properties, the exclusive multimedia rights holder for University of South Dakota Athletics, is teaming up with First PREMIER Bank/PREMIER Bankcard to present the new GoYotes.com official website of Coyote Athletics.
The University of South Dakota Athletic recently transitioned their official athletic website platform to SIDEARM Sports, a company of Coyote Spots Properties’ parent company, Learfield Sports. The transition to the SIDEARM digital platform was designed around the opportunity to elevate sponsors of USD Athletics through Coyote Sports Properties.
“First PREMIER Bank / PREMIER Bankcard is a great partner for the University of South Dakota,” said USD Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development Jon Schemmel. “We are thrilled to see this partnership grow and are very thankful for all PREMIER does for our University.”
Travis Lee, General Manager of Coyote Sports Properties said “we are very excited to enhance the partnership between PREMIER and USD Athletics as we increase our digital capabilities to engage Coyote Fans across Coyote Nation.”
PREMIER has a strong partnership with the University. The Beacom School of Business on Campus at USD was made possible in large part due to a donation from Miles Beacom, President and CEO of PREMIER Bankcard.
“We’re proud to continue our long partnership with The University of South Dakota and look forward to the variety of possibilities that lie ahead,” said Miles Beacom.
