Appendix D: Acknowledgments
The Commission acknowledges the many individuals and organizations whose support of our work made this report possible.First we wish to express our profound gratitude to the Board of Trustees of Knight Foundation for their long and steady commitment to creating a new climate for intercollegiate athletics. College sports and higher education both have benefited significantly from the Foundation's decade-long interest.
Hodding Carter III, current Knight Foundation president, has lent invaluable perspective and energy to the reconvened Commission. His predecessor, Creed Black, has been a driving force throughout the Commission's life. His vision and determination have sustained this effort.
It is an understatement to say that this report and the many hearings that preceded it would have been impossible without the tireless, dedicated and thoughtful guidance of the Commission's executive director, Maureen Devlin. She has been our shepherd, patient but persistent goad, and strong right hand.
Larry Meyer was an enormous help with all our communications needs. Susan Gomez flawlessly handled the Commission's meeting arrangements and logistics, and Nada Elia provided important research assistance and administrative support.
John Underwood and James Harvey contributed to the drafting and editing of this document. The report was designed by Jacques Auger Design Associates and printed by Haff-Daugherty Graphics.
Finally, we wish to extend our thanks to the many men and women - university presidents, faculty, conference commissioners, athletics directors, coaches, athletes, authors, professional sports executives, television officials, NCAA representatives, leaders of national higher education associations, and others - who took the time to share their thoughts with us. Their participation was the absolutely essential foundation of all our deliberations.
