Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins’ retirement has become even busier. Cremins, who is assisting the Tech athletic department and also is a part-time assistant to the College of Charleston president, has been named to the NCAA committee on infractions. He was approved over the weekend by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors along with former Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr. Cremins, the winningest coach in Tech history and certainly among its most popular, retired from coaching last March from the College of Charleston.
They were two of eight new appointed members of the committee, which also includes Georgia president Michael Adams. The selection of Cremins and Carr is interesting. The committee is largely comprised of representatives from NCAA member schools. However, the individuals have been from the academic side of the institutions and rarely, if ever, coaches or former coaches.
The purpose of the committee is to hear cases brought by the NCAA enforcement staff against member schools and determine if NCAA rules have been broken and what the penalties should be. The committee has reportedly been increased in order to more quickly process cases.
