Jim Isch, is the interim executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, who was appointed to the position on September 22, 2009 following the death of Myles Brand.
“In the coming months I intend to move that agenda,” Isch, who was the NCAA senior vice president for administration and chief financial officer, said. “To put that in simple terms, it will continue to focus on academic reform, fiscal responsibility, continued integration of athletics and academics and a continued emphasis on student-athlete well-being,” according to the NCAA.
Isch was vice chancellor for finance and administration at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, from 1994-98 prior to joining the NCAA. He was also the vice president for administration at Montana State University, Bozeman, from 1986-94. Additionally, he served at Kansas State University, where he was assistant vice president for facilities planning and budget (1985-86), budget director (1982-85) and assistant budget officer/accounting instructor (1977-82).
An Army veteran, Isch earned his undergraduate degree and a doctor of philosophy degree from Kansas State and his master’s from Boston University.[1]
