Once the House v. NCAA settlement received final approval, the expectation was the newly formed College Sports Commission would act quickly to name a CEO. Major League Baseball executive Bryan Seeley will serve in the role, the commission announced late Friday.
Seeley is currently MLBās senior executive vice president of investigations, serving in the role since 2014, and a former U.S. attorney. In his role, he oversaw investigations into issues such as international compensation caps while also taking on a key role in policy areas such as legalized sports betting.
Seeley previously spent eight years as an assistant U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C. Heāll now oversee the College Sports Commission, which take on a prominent role in enforcement after Judge Claudia Wilken granted final approval of the House settlement.
āI am honored to serve as the first CEO of the College Sports Commission at this pivotal moment in the history of collegiate athletics,ā Seeley said in a statement. āI look forward to implementing a system that prioritizes fairness, integrity, and opportunity, while preserving the values that make college sports unique. I am energized by the work ahead and excited to begin building out our team.ā
According to the announcement, Bryan Seeley will help build out the College Sports Commissionās investigative and enforcement teams. The commission will take on a central role in enforcing the House v. NCAA settlement terms, working particularly close with the āNIL Goā clearinghouse that will be in place while also helping enforce rules around revenue-sharing and roster limits.
