On Tuesday, news that had long been speculated became official: As first reported by KSR’s Matt Jones, DeWayne Peevy, the Deputy Athletic Director at Kentucky, has been named the AD at DePaul. The news had seemingly been in the works for weeks and is now finally official, with Kentucky announcing Peevy’s departure and DePaul following it up by announcing his arrival.
Admittedly, we don’t normally do a lot of transactional, athletic department hiring’s and firings on this website. But it felt necessary here, if only to explain just how much this guy meant to the University of Kentucky, and it’s basketball program over the last decade and change.
