NCAA president Mark Emmert will be stepping down from his position. The move will come when a new president is selected or on June 30, 2023. The organization released a statement on Tuesday.
Emmert took over as president of the NCAA in April 2010. Prior to his appointment, he had worked at Montana State, Connecticut, LSU and Washington.
“Throughout my tenure I’ve emphasized the need to focus on the experience and priorities of student-athletes,” said Emmert in a statement. “I am extremely proud of the work of the Association over the last 12 years and especially pleased with the hard work and dedication of the national office staff here in Indianapolis.”
“With the significant transitions underway within college sports, the timing of this decision provides the Association with consistent leadership during the coming months plus the opportunity to consider what will be the future role of the president,” said NCAA Board of Governors Chair John J. DeGioi. “It also allows for the selection and recruitment of the next president without disruption.”
The NCAA is in the process of working through a new constitution, which was adopted in January.
