According to the Detroit Free Press, the Arizona Wildcats have hired Central Michigan athletic director Dave Heeke to the same position.

Heeke did not respond to the Free Press’ request for comment, but they are saying that several people confirmed the move to them.

CMU has had Heeke at the helm of its athletic department since 2006. You can read about all of his accomplishments with the Chippewas in his bio.

Prior to his stint at CMU, Heeke was at Oregon for 18 years, where his primary role was to generate revenue through external operations. His primary sports at Oregon were football, men’s basketball, women’s soccer, and softball.

Heeke also has a history of playing sports at the college level. While attending Albion College, he was on the school’s baseball team as well as a club hockey team. He graduated from Albion in 1985, and received a Master’s degree from Ohio State in 1987.
