Responsible for the day-to-day decision-making for Division I, this high-level group consists of athletic directors, athletic administrators, senior woman administrators, faculty athletic representatives and student-athletes.
Alnutt, who was also reappointed to the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee for a second term, will begin his term on the NCAA Division I Council on August 01, 2023 and continue through June 30, 2027.
"I'm extremely honored to be appointed to the NCAA Division I Council," Alnutt said. "It is a privilege to represent the Mid-American Conference and the University at Buffalo as it pertains to critical decision making which will shape all aspects of NCAA Division I membership. In addition, I'm very grateful to serve another term on the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee.
