TO KEEP AN EYE ON BOBBY KNIGHT? NCAA HEADQUARTERS TO INDIANA
Published June 2, 1997
The NCAA has selected Indianapolis as the new site for
its headquarters, which had been in Kansas City since '52,
and will move sometime in the year 2000. NCAA Joint Policy
Board Chair Sam Smith: "Over the next 22 years, we will save
in excess of $50 million in operating costs" (NCAA). The
INDIANAPOLIS STAR-NEWS' Johnston & Theobald note "it was
clear that money made much of the difference" in the choice
to move. Indianapolis officials have said their incentive
package is worth "about" $50M, while an offer to remain in
the Kansas City area was said to be "in the range of" $29-
35M. Smith said that while the long-term savings offered by
K.C. were "significantly" less, "from the quality
perspective," there was "little difference between the
offers." NCAA President Gene Corrigan: "The money was good.
The money, you had to take it" (STAR-NEWS, 6/1).
