DePaul and athletic director DeWayne Peevy have agreed to a contract extension through 2031, per Matt Fortuna of The Inside Zone. Peevy was a name that was linked to the Kentucky athletic director opening following Mitch Barnhart’s retirement announcement.
Peevy was at Kentucky for 12 years from 2008 to 2020, most recently serving as Deputy Director of Athletics from 2013 to 2020. He has been DePaul’s athletic director since 2020 and recently received a contract extension in 2023. Now, he’s getting another extension.
Peevy was among several potential candidates on the KSR Athletic Director Hot Board, written by Adam Luckett in early March.
