University of Mississippi Chancellor Glenn Boyce is now the SEC representative for the NCAA Board of Governors and a member of the Division I Board of Directors, according to an announcement by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on Thursday, Sept. 19.
“I’m honored to be appointed to the NCAA board of directors and Board of Governors to represent my colleagues in the SEC,” Boyce said in a university press release. “I look forward to joining leaders across the nation as we navigate complex issues during a crucial era for college athletics.”
The Board of Governors is the highest governing body of the NCAA. Composed of presidents, chancellors, former student-athletes and individuals outside of the NCAA, the board presides over issues that impact all members of the association.
The Division I Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the division’s strategy and policies.
“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,” Sankey said in a university press release. “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.”
