Keck (1971): Keck worked as an administrator from 1971 to 2014.
“No individual in the history of the University of Dayton athletics department has had a greater day-to-day impact on more Flyer student-athletes than Ken Keck,” read a UD press release.

He later worked as a business manager and then as assistant athletics director for 25 years.
