White Men Run the NCAA: According to a study by the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports, white men still dominate most leadership position in the NCAA, and women and minorities are making slow progress. All 36 Division I conference commissioners are white, not counting the commissioners of historically black conferences. An all-time high of 25.2 percent of basketball coaches are black. But that pales in comparison to the 57.8 percent of players who are black. Football and women’s basketball show worse gaps, and 94.1 percent of university presidents are white. [12/14/06]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
