PHILADELPHIA – Temple University Director of Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft has been selected to represent the American Athletic Conference on the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee. Additionally, Kraft was named the vice chair of the AAC Athletic Director's Executive Committee and will serve as the liaison to the league's football coaches group.
Dr. Jeremy Jordan, who is in his fifth year as Temple's Faculty Athletics Representative, was selected as the chair of The American's Faculty Athletics Representatives group.
One of the NCAA's most prestigious committees, the Football Oversight Committee ensures that appropriate oversight of football for both the Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision is maintained. It enhances the development of the sport and makes recommendations related to regular-season and postseason football. The committee prioritizes enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience (academically and athletically), and in doing so, promotes student-athletes' personal growth and leadership development. It works in conjunction with appropriate governance entities to provide solutions to issues impacting the health and safety of football student-athletes.
The Football Oversight Committee also supervises procedures for licensing of postseason bowls and qualifications and/or selection procedures for the FCS Championship. The committee reviews recommendations from the NCAA Division I Football Championship Committee and processes other issues related to the administration of the FCS Championship. The committee assumes many of the duties of the former NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee and provides direction to the NCAA Football Rules Committee regarding playing rules governing FBS and FCS football. The committee is comprised of representatives from each divisional subgroup that sponsors football.
Current members of the Football Oversight Committee include: Greg Byrne, Director of Athletics, Alabama; Sandy Barbour, Director of Athletics, Penn State; Shane Lyons, Director of Athletics, West Virginia; Whit Babcock, Director of Athletics, Virginia Tech; Mike Hamrick, Director of Athletics, Marshall; Ben Gilliland, Deputy Commissioner Mountain West Conference; Brad Teague, Director of Athletics, Central Arkansas; Jennifer Williams Director of Athletics, Alabama State; Patty Viverito, Commissioner, Missouri Valley Football Conference; Bobby Lamb, Head Football Coach, Mercer; Jan Gee, Senior Associate AD/SWA, Montana; Todd Berry, Executive Director, American Football Coaches Association.
