The Changing Face of Collegiate Athletics – NCAA, Knight Commission, and Title IX

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Amy Privette Perko, CEO of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, about the educational model of collegiate sports and the changing face of the NCAA.

Podcast Highlights

• Two concurrent – but not directly connected – sets of major changes relating to the NCAA were made public in June and July of 2021, marking a period of transformational change in collegiate sports.
• The Supreme Court published its decision upholding a previous ruling against the NCAA, which bars the NCAA from placing any restrictions on educational benefits for student-athletes.
• Within a matter of days of the Supreme Court’s ruling, the NCAA acted on a decision reached by its board of directors to lift previous restrictions on student-athletes eligibility to receive compensation for the use of their name, image, and likeness (NIL).
• Taken together, the recent changes portend that a sea change is imminent in collegiate athletics.
