University President Walter Harrison was quoted in several media outlets discussing the death of his friend, NCAA President Myles Brand. Harrison, who chairs the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance, told ESPN that Brand's "lasting impact will be there in all sorts of different ways. But he always put intercollegiate athletics in the right perspective, whether that's for students, coaches, fans or faculty." Speaking to The Chronicle of Higher Education, Harrison said Brand "will principally be remembered as someone who brought intercollegiate athletics more squarely under the umbrella of higher education, remembering that intercollegiate athletics is part of a university experience, not separate from it."
