The NCAA announced on Tuesday that president Mark Emmert will be stepping down from his role.
The 69-year-old took over as NCAA president in 2010, becoming just the fifth NCAA president in its history. He will continue to act as NCAA president until June 30, 2023, unless a new president is named and in place before then.
“Throughout my tenure I’ve emphasized the need to focus on the experience and priorities of student-athletes,” Emmert said. “I am extremely proud of the work of the Association over the last 12 years and especially pleased with the hard work and dedication of the national office staff here in Indianapolis.
