KANSAS CITY, Mo. – NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson has released a statement following Tuesday’s NCAA announcement of a series of adjustments to the Division I governance structure.
“The NABC commends the NCAA for enacting structural changes that will increase representation from coaches on sport oversight committees. The NABC has for years stressed that the inclusion of coaches is crucial to the governance of college sports, given coaches’ unique perspectives and frequent interaction with athletes. These governance restructuring efforts – particularly those that apply to the Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee – mark a necessary and welcomed step by the NCAA to bring more coaches to the table. As the future of our sport and college athletics at large takes shape, the NABC will continue to advocate for coaches to be properly represented throughout the industry’s committee structures.”
