Humbled Turnham elated to serve as committee chair

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — In a long career of championing for women's intercollegiate athletics, little has meant more to Middle Tennessee's Diane Turnham than her recent election as NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee chair.

The Blue Raiders' senior associate athletics director and senior women's administrator will serve as the voice of the committee that promotes the growth of women's basketball and chooses the teams for its championship tournament.

"I've been a member of the committee for four years, and to be selected by my peers to be the leader of this group for my fifth and final year is an incredible honor," Turnham said.
