With over 1,000 career points and a Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year award to her name, TCU senior forward Amy Okonkwo has more than made a name for herself on the hardwood.
But she recently reminded us of a simple mindset: It’s much bigger than basketball.
Last week, Okonkwo was selected to be one of 15 student-athletes to travel to the NCAA Convention in Orlando to participate in the Autonomy governance process and vote on a variation of NCAA rule-change proposals.
There will be 80 voting members that range from the Big 12, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC that consider 11 proposals, including mental health services and the role of agents in assisting student-athletes with career planning and decision making.
