Join us for a lively program with Dave Brandon who will share the UM
commitment to providing quality experiences for its student-athletes, coaches, fans
and supporters. His remarks will include the challenges, opportunities and threats
that contribute to the highly competitive world of big-time college athletics. We
are sure it will be an informative discussion on Michigan athletics with UM
Athletic Director Dave Brandon!
David A. Brandon began his tenure as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at the
University of Michigan in March 2010. A U-M alumnus, Brandon, 59, played
football under Bo Schembechler and was a member of three Big Ten
Championship teams. He received a B.A. degree in communications from U-M in
1974. In 1998, Brandon was elected to the University of Michigan’s Board of
Regents and served one eight-year term. He has honorary doctorate degrees from
Walsh College, Schoolcraft College, Lawrence Technological University, Cleary
College, Albion College, Davenport University and Central Michigan University,
where he served as a trustee from 1994-98. In 2007, Brandon received the
“Distinguished Alumni Service Award” from the U-M Alumni Association. The
following year, he received the “Bennie Oosterbaan Award” for service, dedication
and leadership from the Bob Ufer Quarterback Club. Later in 2008, Brandon was
honored as national “CEO Coach of the Year” by the American Football Coaches
Association. Prior to joining the athletic department, Brandon served as chairman
and chief executive officer of Ann Arbor-based Domino’s Pizza, Inc. for 11 years,
leading the company to the largest IPO of a restaurant company in history. He
continues to serve as non-executive chairman at Domino’s.
