The NCAA Board of Governors has selected John J. DeGioia, president of Georgetown, as its chair. DeGioia will serve as chair of the Association’s top governing body through August 2022.
“I am honored to serve in this role during such an important time for intercollegiate athletics,” DeGioia said. “It is more important than ever that we ensure college athletics continues to navigate the current landscape consistent with our principles, values and purpose.”
Spalding President Tori Murden McClure served as the interim board chair through this month’s meeting and will be the board vice chair until January.
“As a board and representatives of the whole Association, we are committed to continually improving the higher education experience for college athletes,” McClure said.
