With college sports in flux, NCAA set to overhaul itself

Associated Press  

The NCAA Board of Governors on Friday called for a constitutional convention in November, the first step toward launching dramatic reform in how the sprawling, multibillion-dollar enterprise of college sports is governed for years to come. In the wake of a stinging loss in the Supreme Court and radical changes to the way athletes can be compensated —- and with College Football Playoff expansion and major conference realignment already in motion — the NCAA said it wants to “reimagine” how it manages the needs of its more than 450,000 athletes. “As the national landscape changes, college sports must also quickly adapt to become more responsive to the needs of college athletes and current member schools,” said Jack DeGioia, chair of the Board of Governors and president of Georgetown. “I worry a lot about intercollegiate athletics, about whether it’s a sustainable proposition given some of the things that are happening,” said former University of Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman, who was a member of the NCAA Board of Directors and chairman of the BCS during his time leading the school. “They need to consider all of those things, But they need to decide what makes sense and how they can best oversee college sports.” ___ AP Sports Writer Eric Olson in Omaha, Nebraska, contributed.
