INDIANAPOLIS — When Charlie Baker took the NCAA’s top job in January, he knew it would be one of the most volatile periods in the institution’s 117-year history. But the former Massachusetts governor admits even he was unprepared for the sudden news in August that virtually the entire membership of the Pac-12 would be jumping to other conferences, decimating the most decorated collegiate conference in the nation.
Baker said the loss of regional conferences will adversely impact student-athletes at all institutions — particularly those in sports with 30 to 70 games a year. Baseball, softball and basketball teams, for example, could all see more contests on the other side of the country. A report by consultants Bain & Co., commissioned by the NCAA, indicated the trend will continue — both because of the media rights landscape and America’s declining birth rate, which is down 20% since 2007.
