DePaul has identified its new athletic director and plans to introduce DeWayne Peevy in a news conference Monday, sources said.
Peevy has been considered the lead candidate since he blew away the search committee in his interview in early August.
Peevy, the deputy athletic director at Kentucky, came highly recommended from men's basketball coach John Calipari. One source said DePaul officials acknowledge Peevy is a “risk” because he has no Chicago ties and has been operating in the college town of Lexington, Ky.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter's Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
