Ribeau joins NCAA Division I Board of Directors BOWLING GREEN, O.—Bowling Green State University President Sidney Ribeau has been named to the NCAA’s 18-member Division I
Board of Directors.
Among nine university presidents joining the policy-making body, Ribeau was nominated by the Mid-American Conference Council
of Presidents to succeed Dr. Carol Cartwright, president of Kent State University, as the board’s MAC representative. His
term extends through April 2009.
Ribeau’s nomination is “reflective of the high regard his peers have for Sidney’s values as they relate to intercollegiate
athletics, for his perspective and for his interest in, and commitment to, college sports at the highest level,” said MAC
Commissioner Rick Chryst.
Paul Krebs, BGSU’s director of athletics, added that the appointment “speaks volumes” about Ribeau’s leadership within the
conference, as well as his knowledge and support of intercollegiate athletics in general.
It also “draws added attention to Bowling Green State University and our athletic program,” Krebs noted. With Ribeau in a
position of leadership in developing national legislation governing collegiate athletics, BGSU will be more involved in the
legislative effort, he said.
Academic reform is currently at the forefront for the board’s member presidents, who comprise the most influential body in
the NCAA management structure.
