The U.S. Olympic Committee has once again begun the process of trying to confront the prospect of NCAA Division I schools dropping sports for financial reasons.
But this time, instead of forming a committee or just talking about the issue, the USOC is seeking applicants for a new job: director of collegiate partnerships. The position will entail, among other tasks, working with national sports governing bodies and the NCAA “to develop actionable plans to reduce expenses associated with sponsoring sports” while maintaining quality experiences for college athletes, according to a description recently posted on the USOC’s website.
