Former University of Wisconsin football star Chris McIntosh has been named associate athletic director for business development at UW, athletic director Barry Alvarez announced Thursday.
McIntosh, who had worked as UW's director of development since December 2014, will begin his new appointment immediately.
“I’m thrilled to have Chris join our senior staff in this new position,” Alvarez said in a statement. “His background as a student-athlete with our football program, as a professional football player and as a businessman give Chris the perfect combination of skills and experiences to thrive in college athletics. He was an integral part of our Rose Bowl teams in the late 1990s and he will be a great contributor to our department going forward.
