The NCAA Division I men’s basketball committee gets a lot of attention when March rolls around, but decisions about who will comprise the powerful faction are made much earlier.
The NCAA announced that four administrators were recently appointed to the 12-member committee. Notre Dame Athletics Director Pete Bevacqua, Ole Miss Athletics Director Keith Carter, Missouri Valley Conference Commissioner Jeff Jackson and Northwestern Athletics Director Mark Jackson (no relation) will all join the fold.

Bevacqua’s term will begin on July 1, while the other three newly minted members will begin their committee duties on September 1.
The new quartet will be part of the first committee in NCAA history to put together a 76-team bracket for the NCAA tournament.
The incoming foursome will replace Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Keith Gill, Alabama Athletics Director Greg Byrne, Minnesota Athletics Director Mark Coyle and Syracuse Athletics Director John Wildhack.
