The committees are tasked with addressing challenges and enhancing opportunities for the 175,000 student-athletes participating at the Division I level. “It is an honor and a privilege to be selected to serve in this capacity alongside collegiate athletic leaders from around the nation,†Harlan said. “It is a very important time in collegiate athletics as we embrace the opportunities and meet the challenges of a new and changing era. I look forward to exchanging thoughts and ideas with my colleagues and playing a part in ensuring the best experience for the thousands of Division I student-athletes nationwide.†The NCAA Division I Council, chaired by Northwestern Director of Athletics Jim Phillips, identified the most qualified candidates to fill each committee’s need. The candidates were then vetted thoroughly both by the Council members already serving on each individual committee and by the Council as a whole before being appointed to serve.Bottom of Form Harlan will be one of 11 athletic directors from across the nation serving on the 19-member Competition Oversight Committee, including Kentucky Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart who is serving as the committee chairman. The Competition Oversight Committee has oversight of competitive matters for all sports other than football and men’s and women’s basketball and oversees the NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee. Along with supervision of the qualification and/or selection procedures for Division I and National Collegiate Championships, the committee will review recommendations from sports committees and process other issues related to the administration of championships.

Don't hold your breath my friend. Wouldn't want you to check out of this life before the Navy game. Could be a real Debbie Downer and say this is Harlan's chance to market himself to the major programs. I think it's a good thing though. Any voice USF can get at a higher level is important.

He's been a class act so far--a far better face for the university than the previous one. Pity it has nothing to do with football or basketball, but he'll inevitably rub elbows at some level.

What's done regarding football this season will be huge measuring stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In football, Harlan will be measured by his next hire, whether that be next season or several seasons down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
