Maggard Appointed to NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee

LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Bryan Maggard has been appointed to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee.

Maggard's term began July 1 and runs through June 30, 2028. He will serve as the Sun Belt Conference representative on the committee. Currently in his eighth year with Louisiana, Maggard joins 16 other members on the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) segment of the committee.

The Football Oversight Committee – comprised of representatives from each divisional subgroup that sponsors football – works in conjunction with appropriate governance entities to provide solutions to issues impacting the health and safety of football student-athletes.

The committee maintains appropriate oversight of football for both the Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision and enhances the development of the sport by advancing recommendations related to regular season and postseason football. The committee prioritizes enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience (academically and athletically), promoting student-athletes' personal growth and leadership development.

The committee also supervises procedures for licensing of postseason bowls and qualifications and/or selection procedures for the FCS Championship. It also provides direction to the NCAA Football Rules Committee regarding playing rules governing FBS and FCS football.
