Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst, the Big Ten Conference's only voting member of the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee, will report on the group’s latest meeting on Tuesday night’s 7 to 8 p.m. (CT) Nebraska Athletics Radio Show on the Husker Sports Network.
Eichorst will use the first of his four-segment monthly radio show to discuss the committee’s work in last week’s two-day meeting in Indianapolis. The committee is closely reviewing the entire landscape of Division I Football and looking to improve and enhance the game in a number of areas. Eichorst is scheduled to represent the Big Ten on the committee until June, 2018.
The Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision maintain and enhance the development of the sport and make recommendations related to regular-season and postseason football. The committee also prioritizes the enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience, academically and athletically. The oversight committee works with government entities to provide solutions to issues that impact the health and safety of collegiate football student-athletes.
Husker Athletics Radio Show studio host Greg Sharpe will interview Nebraska Bowling Coach Bill Straub in Tuesday night’s second radio segment, followed by Nebraska Softball Coach Rhonda Revelle in the third segment and Husker senior softball captain Mattie Fowler in the fourth and final segment.
Straub’s second-ranked 2016 team defeated top-ranked Arkansas State this past weekend to finish third in a tournament at Houston. The Huskers are the NCAA’s 2015 defending national champions. Revelle’s team opened its season last weekend with five wins over Northern Iowa (7-4, 8 innings), Western Illinois (3-2), Drake (11-2, 5 innings), Green Bay (8-0) and Saint Louis (7-4). The 5-0 Huskers won all five games inside the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa. A senior infielder from Tucson, Ariz., Fowler is the only Husker softball student-athlete in Nebraska history to be a four-year captain.
