This is pretty sad for some fans and I'm sure it will have implications on the future of College sports...

Quote :

"INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—The NCAA says Myles Brand has died after battling pancreatic cancer. He was 67. The university president turned NCAA chief who pushed for tighter academic standards in college sports and took on Bob Knight died Wednesday. Brand announced he had cancer in January at the NCAA convention and continued to run the organization’s day-to-day operations. He became the first university president to run college sports’ largest governing body, and worked to change the perception that wins supersede academics in college athletics. It’s the first time a sitting NCAA president has died."

and I forgot an apostrophe... I have no clue who his successor will be. Thoughts?

oh yeah this was the guy who led the organization the lets the big programs get away with everything, while coming down hard on the smaller revenue programs for minor infractions.

I've got three fucking tears for this guy.
