SPOTLIGHT ON: TONY BERICH
Tony Berich, executive director of Athletics & Campus Recreation at 米兰体育, was to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Management Council.
Division III is home to more than 430 institutions and 200,000 student-athletes 鈥
the most in any division, and this council includes 21 Division III athletic administrators
and two student-athletes.
Berich shared what an honor it is to be a part of this group. 鈥淲hen you get into college athletics and learn about the governance structure, you quickly learn about the importance and respect for the Management Council. Many of those people that I learned from and respect, most were members at one time or another, so having that opportunity to follow in their footsteps is humbling. In my role, I will be part of a group that helps shape the future of NCAA Division III and given the major shifts in all divisions of the NCAA, it comes at a critical time for our membership.鈥
