INDIANAPOLIS --- Bruce Rasmussen, who has spent the past 22 years as the Director of Athletics at Creighton University, has been named vice chair of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee for the 2016-17 season. Rasmussen will work alongside Michigan State Athletics Director Mark Hollis, who will serve as chair for the upcoming season, before becoming the chair for 2017-18. Rasmussen was nominated by his colleagues on the committee at last week's annual summer meeting in Park City, Utah.
"I am humbled and honored to be selected by my peers for a leadership role on the Men's Basketball Committee," said Rasmussen, who recorded 196 wins as Creighton's women's basketball coach before moving to administration.
