Guest Gene Smith, Ohio State
9:37min watch

Summary

The Commission on College Basketball, chaired by Dr. Condoleeza Rice, was established by the NCAA in October 2017 to fully examine critical aspects of Division I men’s basketball. As a member, Ohio State’s Gene Smith gives AthleticDirectorU insights on serving on the Commission. Smith believes the Commission has the commitment of the  NCAA to implement the recommendations without significant modification. His hope is that the work done by the committee will help change individual behavior and create more accountability throughout college athletics.
