Northern Iowa announced David Harris as the school’s new athletic director on Wednesday.
Harris, a senior associate athletic director at Iowa State, was among three finalists. Kevin Buisman, the athletic director for Minnesota State, withdrew his name from consideration Tuesday. Peter Fields, the departing athletic director at Montana State, was also known to have interviewed for the job.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the University of Northern Iowa as the director of athletics," Harris said in a news release. "UNI is truly a special place, and my family and I are extremely excited about becoming part of the Panther family.
