View Photo »He [Isch] served as liaison to the search group that brought Myles Brand into this organization, and if we don't get the financing right, all the other association goals would be moot. So the board has full confidence in Jim Isch's ability ... We will move ahead with Myles' goals.
He was very much alive in that issue ... David was persuasive with the president (Myles Brand) to keep it going.
I just served on an N.C.A.A. committee with a handful of university presidents ... Our coaches got to share their thoughts directly with the presidents. That would never have happened before Myles Brand.
Myles Brand had, I think, a huge impact on everybody, certainly those at the NCAA ... He didn't just give it lip service, he did something about it, and I think he's also going to be missed as well.
The world of intercollegiate sports has lost a leader of great vision with the passing of Myles Brand ... The reforms he instituted and the inspiring vision he had for the role of athletics in the overall academic experience will have long-lasting effects and will benefit generations of student-athletes ...
Myles Brand brought a new style of leadership to the NCAA. He understood that, in the end, scholarship is as important as athleticism and made changes in collegiate sports that are benefitting all young athletes. His death is too soon, but his positive impact on sports will last for many years to come.
We are all deeply saddened by the loss of our friend Myles Brand
Myles Brand was a dear friend and a great academic leader. He was a tireless advocate for the student-athlete
Myles Brand's passing is a great personal loss of a dear friend and an even greater loss to the NCAA and collegiate athletics ... I believe Myles will be remembered as a person who helped us refocus on the student in student-athlete and his academic reforms will long outlive him.
