Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker will be the next NCAA president, the organization announced today.
The NCAA Board of Governors sought a candidate with deep political experience to navigate a college sports landscape that has come under increasing scrutiny in Washington, D.C., and statehouses across the country, according to Sports Business Journal.
The NCAA said that Baker's "history of successfully forging bipartisan solutions to complex problems stood out" to the search committee. "Gov. Baker has shown a remarkable ability to bridge divides and build bipartisan consensus, taking on complex challenges in innovative and effective ways," said Linda Livingstone, chair of the NCAA Board of Governors, in a statement.Mike Deehan: Baker didn't run for re-election mostly because he couldn't win the GOP primary, but he's still enormously popular.
A high-profile job like this wouldn't rule out future political speculation either. He's an administrator-type governor, making him qualified to run a large organization like this.
