Random information on the term “NCAA”:
Walter Byers (March 13, 1922 – May 26, 2015) was the first executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Byers was born in Kansas City. He graduated from Westport High School. He never played athletics, and though he took classes at the University of Iowa, he did not graduate from college.
Byers began his career as a United Press reporter. He left wire service journalism to take a job as an assistant sports information director with the Big Ten Conference.
In 1951 Byers was a 29-year-old former Big Ten assistant sports-information director who had never headed anything. That year, Byers was appointed the first executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, a job that did not have a description.
He served from 1951 to 1988. He urged the creation of the United States Basketball Writers Association in 1956. Byers helped expand the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in from 8 to 16 teams. Byers negotiated TV contracts that preempted individual colleges’ rights on the way to building a billion-dollar business, leading to a 1984 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that freed the colleges to negotiate on their own.
