Knight Commission Summit information
The Knight Commission held the first-ever Summit on the Collegiate Athlete Experience at George Washington University on January 30. Summit participants Don McPherson of the Sports Leadership Institute and Joanne Belknap of the University of Colorado explored the behavior and violence of student-athletes, including rape, sexual assault, drugs, and the social climate within institutions and the community.

Video from the event is available here. We also have a press release available on the summit, a summary of quotes from panelists, and information from the commission’s first poll on Americans’ attitudes about college sports.
One of the poll’s findings was that Americans strongly support the Knight Commission’s and the NCAA’s academic reforms. More information about those issues is available here.
