Illinois at Chicago AD Schmidt will retire as the Flames leader after 22 years on August 1. Schmidt: "Being here since the infancy of the Division I era and working to build a quality organization has been an honor. I have been blessed to work with so many talented and successful student-athletes, coaches and administrators. To be able to go out on my own terms is not easy in these changing times of Division I athletics." Chancellor Amiridis: "Jim has been an invaluable resource to me since I arrived on campus two years ago. His loyalty and passion for the Flames is unmatched and his talent and leadership as a respected administrator will be missed by all of us. We are grateful for the commitment he has made as the Director of Athletics for 22 years, and wish him a wonderful retirement as he starts a new chapter in his life."
