Dr. Chris Reynolds, Bradley University’s vice president for intercollegiate athletics, was named to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee, with his term beginning September 1, 2024.
Reynolds succeeds Jeff Jackson, who will continue his service on the broader Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, marking a transition that underscores the rotating nature of NCAA governance.
Committee Responsibilities and Governance
The oversight committee is responsible for shaping men’s basketball policy, guiding student‑athlete development and coordinating championship administration, areas in which Reynolds has spent more than two decades.
Having chaired the same committee from 2022 through 2023, Reynolds brings a deep familiarity with the rule‑making process and the nuances of postseason planning, a tenure that culminated in his recent honor as the 2026 Athletics Directors Association Builders’ Award recipient.
In addition to his committee duties, Reynolds was appointed in January 2026 to the NCAA Awards Committee, a four‑year term that will run through 2030, further expanding his influence across the association’s recognition programs.
A native of Peoria, Illinois, Reynolds’ roots in the city align with Bradley University’s home base, reinforcing the local connection that has defined his professional journey.
