INDIANAPOLIS – Texas A&M University-Commerce Director of Athletics Tim McMurray has been named to the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports, as announced by the NCAA this week. 

McMurray joins the 22-member committee to provide expertise and leadership to the Association to promote a healthy and safe environment for student-athletes through research, education, collaboration, and policy development. 

Twenty-two members make up the association-wide committee, with six positions allocated for men, six for women, and ten unallocated. Members include athletics administrators, coaches, sports medicine staff, researchers, faculty, and student-athletes.
