SIU System President Dan Mahony recently made a presentation to the Board of Trustees on the NCAA and if the current model is sustainable in the face of some monumental changes in college athletics.

WSIU's Brad Palmer spoke with Mahony about the information he delivered in terms of the past, present and future of the NCAA. We start talking about the surprising way college athletics started, which led to the development of the governing body we know today.

In future days, we'll hear from Mahony on the present issues confronting college athletics and the NCAA and what could happen to both in the future.

As a news producer and news anchor on All Things Considered, Brad provides the listeners with a recap of the day's top local and state news as well as breaking news at any given time. Contact WSIU Radio at 618-453-6101 or email wsiunews@wsiu.org
