RIP Myles Brand

As President of Indiana University, Myles Brand will be recalled most strongly as the man who fired Bob Knight. As President of the NCAA, SI.com said this about him:

The first former university president to run college sports' largest governing body, Brand worked to change the perception that wins supersede academics and earned accolades for his efforts.

Too bad those efforts didn't achieve a greater or more lasting effect.
