Extension for Tarleton's AD.

STEPHENVILLE – The longest tenured athletic director in Tarleton State University history is set to continue leading the department through its transition to NCAA Division I.
After a successful first year of transition, Lonn Reisman, the Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics, has earned a two-year contract extension through July 2023.
"I'm grateful to Tarleton President Dr. James Hurley for the opportunity to continue to lead this department into NCAA Division I," said Reisman. "We have made a lot of changes and passed our first year of NCAA transition. I'm looking forward to continuing the efforts in leading Tarleton State University to the highest level for our students, fans, student-athletes, alumni, and all the supporters of Texan Athletics."
This isn't the first time Reisman has led Tarleton to new heights. After taking over as athletic director in 1993, Tarleton made the move to NCAA Division II from NAIA in 1994. Reisman is currently in his 28th year as the athletic director and fourth year in the singular role after spending his first 24 years also serving as the head basketball coach. He was named the Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics in the fall of 2019.
