CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — While the NCAA considers expanding the March Madness field in the coming years, North Carolina athletics director Bubba Cunningham will have a key seat at the negotiating table.
The NCAA announced Thursday that Cunningham is the vice-chair of its Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for the upcoming academic year and will move up to chair that group that selects the tournament field during the 2024-25 season.
Southwestern Athletic Conference commissioner Charles McClelland will chair the committee this academic year, beginning on Sept. 1.
