NCAA backs Knight Commission's reform principles

NCAA Interim President Jim Isch said a report released Thursday by the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics coincides with ongoing NCAA reform efforts, and he urged presidential members of the commission to initiate legislative proposals through their conferences to effect further change.

Isch said the Knight Commission's latest report, "Restoring the Balance," advances positions that the NCAA "not only agrees with but also has taken meaningful steps to advance and implement across the Association."

While those positions align with the NCAA reform philosophy, Isch indicated that many of the actual recommendations the commission is proposing would have to be vetted through the NCAA governance structure.
