Charlie Baker, previously the governor of Massachusetts from 2015-2023, takes over from Mark Emmert effective March 1. He's 66, only four years younger than Emmert. His collegiate athletic experience was limited to playing on Harvard's JV basketball team. He's a career public servant; in between public office stints, he was a healthcare CEO. As governor, he was an advocate of legalized sports gambling. Now, he'll be in charge of a regulatory organization overseeing 1,100 colleges and 500,000 athletes.
If you were Baker, what's the first issue you'd take on? It could be something done in a relatively short period of time (e.g., adding 220# weight class to men's wrestling) or it might take a while (e.g., regulating NIL).
