In May, President David R. Hopkins was elected to a four-year term on the 18-member NCAA Division I Board of Directors—the most powerful governing body in D-I—and to the seven-member presidential advisory group. Hopkins said his areas of interest include student athletes who spend only one year in college before attempting to move on to the pros, a potential playoff for football, and gender equity in college sports. He attended his first NCAA Division I committee meeting Aug. 9-11 in Indianapolis.
