The New NCAA Constitution

With Guest: Matthew Burke, Athletic Director, Fitchburg State University

On January 20th the NCAA approved a new Constitution. The ratification came despite objections from members who feel it concentrates too much money and power in the hands of Division I colleges.

Join me on February 9th at 12 Noon on “Office Hours with Dr. De Veau”, the Next Evolution of Professional Development for Higher Education Professionals. Only on Fireside.
