COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Men’s Basketball head coach Cuonzo Martin has been named to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee, as announced Monday. The committee, which features approximately 12 voting members and four nonvoting members, is comprised of coaches and administrators from across the nation.

“I’m honored to represent both the University of Missouri and the Southeastern Conference on the Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee,” Martin said. “It’s an important time for our sport after the hard work and recommendations put forth by the Commission on College Basketball. I’m looking forward to helping improve our game and working diligently to put young men in the best situations for success on and off the court.”

The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee will ensure that appropriate oversight of men’s basketball is maintained, will enhance the development and public perception of the sport and make recommendations related to regular-season and postseason men’s basketball. The committee will prioritize enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience (academically and athletically), and in doing so, promote student-athletes’ personal growth and leadership development.

The Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee will supervise qualifications and/or selection procedures for the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. The committee will review recommendations from the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and process other issues related to the administration of the championship. The committee will assume many of the duties of the former NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Issues Committee and will provide direction to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Rules Committee regarding playing rules. The committee will be comprised of representatives from each divisional subgroup.
