University of Washington president Mark Emmert will succeed the late Myles Brand as president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Emmert takes up the role on November 1 and will be the NCAA’s fifth president. Brand held the position from January 2003 until his death in September last year.
“I have a lot of listening to do,” Emmert said. “Then I want to start working to make sure we are continuing the traditions of academic accountability.”
Ed Ray, president of Oregon State University and chairman of the NCAA executive committee, revealed that Emmert was chosen from a field of about 100 candidates.
“President Emmert emerged from a field of exceptional candidates who presented a broad range of skills, knowledge and experiences,” Ray said in a statement. “The decision was difficult, but we are confident in our decision that Mark is uniquely qualified to lead the organistion.”
