NCAA Appoints Presidents to Panel on Future of Sports
Related Stories
What do you get when you put 50 college presidents in a room? Solutions to the problems in big-time college sports, the National Collegiate Athletic Association hopes.
Myles Brand, the NCAA's president, on Wednesday identified the members of the imposingly named Presidential Task Force on the Future of Division I Intercollegiate Athletics, which he proposed creating in January. Brand said at the time that he was not creating the panel because of "looming crisis to which this group must attend." Instead, he said, "this will be the exercise of prudent leadership to address trends that if left unattended could undermine the goals of higher education and damage the collegiate model of athletics."
Peter Likins, president of the University of Arizona, will oversee the entire committee, which will meet for the first time June 9-10 in Tucson, Ariz., to "develop a list of what it deems the most pressing problems facing intercollegiate athletics," the NCAA news release said.
But the panel's work will be undertaken mostly by four subcommittees focused on particular topics: "implications of academic values and standards," "fiscal responsibility," "presidential leadership of internal and external constituencies," and "student-athlete well being."
The four panels and their chairs and members are:
