One of the most integral pieces of the University of Toledo athletic department is stepping down.
Dave Nottke, who’s served as the deputy athletic director for the past six years, will retire Aug. 31, ending a 33-year career at UT that began as a student manager for the men’s basketball team.
“This was a very difficult decision for me,” Nottke said. “It has been my absolute privilege to serve at my alma mater for the past 33 years, but the time is right for me to move on and do something different. I became eligible for retirement in December, but I made a commitment to Mike O’Brien to stay on through the end of his tenure on April 30.
