9/23/2024 | Athletics
University of Mississippi Chancellor Glenn Boyce has been appointed to the NCAA Division I Board of Governors and Board of Directors, it was announced Monday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.
The NCAA Board of Governors is the highest governance body in the NCAA and is composed of institutional chief executive officers that oversee Association-wide issues. The board is charged with ensuring that each division operates consistently with the basic purposes, fundamental policies and general principles of the Association. Boyce is now one of 16 voting board members.
The NCAA Board of Directors is responsible for strategy and policy and overseeing legislation and management of the division. The board focuses on strategic topics in college sports and their relationship to higher education and monitors legislation to ensure it does not conflict with policies and goals, among other responsibilities.
Since Boyce became the university's 18th chancellor in 2019, he has worked to make vast improvements to collegiate athletics and support all teams and student-athletes at Ole Miss. His appointment to the NCAA board comes at a time of significant change and fluidity in collegiate athletics, as new policies reshape student-athlete rights.
"At Ole Miss, we value the vitality of our athletics programs and understand how athletics experiences draw people together, create community and support the aspirations of our talented student-athletes," Boyce said. "The work of the NCAA is important to ensuring that all levels of collegiate programs continue to thrive and provide unparalleled opportunities and experiences."
"Glenn Boyce's experience and understanding of issues across the national landscape of intercollegiate athletics will be beneficial in these important board positions at a critical time in the history of college sports," said Sankey. "The SEC is fortunate to have a leader like Chancellor Boyce representing the Conference on the important issues facing all of us in college athletics."
Boyce begins a four-year appointment to the Board of Governor and Board of Directors effective immediately.
