These skills and perspective will be invaluable as we work with policymakers to build a sustainable model for the future of college athletics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Current NCAA President Mark Emmert announced his intention to step down last April. He has led the association since 2010 and is expected to remain in an advisory role until June of next year.<\/p>\n<p>The governor\u2019s history of developing bipartisan policy solutions stood out to the search committee as it sought the association\u2019s next leader, according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honored to become the next president of the NCAA, an organization that impacts millions of families and countless communities across this country every day,\u201d Baker said in the NCAA\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The NCAA includes more than 500,000 college students in its various sports each year, according to its website, and serves as the nation\u2019s largest organization representing collegiate student-athletes. The organization has enacted several innovations in recent years, including the addition of the transfer portal and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsasports.org\/name-image-likeness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIL<\/a> (name, image, and likeness) policy changes that permit college athletes to receive financial compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Baker will most likely have to contend with controversial social issues facing collegiate sports. For example, the NCAA\u2019s policies related to biological males competing in female sports sparked harsh criticism when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lia-thomas-teammate-competitor-blast-title-as-illegitimate-in-wake-of-fina-transgender-restrictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lia Thomas<\/a> competed for the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s women\u2019s swimming team during the 2021-2022 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) has selected outgoing Republican Massachusetts Gov.
