"Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas announced Tuesday evening that Dee Brown would join the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics full time as a special assistant to the director of athletics."
After initially planning to return overseas to play professional basketball this fall, Dee Brown has decided to take a full-time position as an assistant to the director of athletics for the Fighting Illini. Brown was offered the full-time position after he did an exceptional job working temporarily in that same role this past summer. Brown's position includes being present at both on-campus and off-campus events, fundraising, and even helping recruit athletes and mentoring current ones at the University.
