Hubbard to take part in proposed NCAA rule changes under autonomy process
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Monday morning three student-athlete representatives from its member institutions who will hold voting power on proposed NCAA rule changes under the Division I autonomy process.
NC State softball's Harli Hubbard will participate with Duke's Madison Granger (track and field/cross country), and Miami's Demetrius Jackson (football) as members of the ACC Autonomy Committee, be invited to attend various ACC governance meetings and participate as members of the voting delegation at the 2018 NCAA Convention. She is the first student-athlete from NC State to be selected for this process.
A junior from Camas, Wash., Hubbard is a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at NC State. She has made a total of 41 appearances in the circle for the Wolfpack, including five in the starting spot. In 2016 she broke the program record for saves in a single season with four, eclipsing the previous mark by two.
Last season as a pitcher she finished with five wins, earning her first in her first complete game effort against Coastal Carolina. She additionally struck out 45 batters and pitched a total of 90.1 innings.
"I'm extremely honored to have been chosen for this incredible opportunity," said Hubbard. "To have the chance to have an impact on the student-athletes' lives is an amazing feeling, and it's awesome to be able to be a representative of NC State and the ACC in this process."
The NCAA Division I Board of Directors voted in August of 2014 to restructure how schools and conferences govern themselves, paving the way for student-athletes to have a voice – and a vote – at every level of decision-making. A council, established as part of that process, is responsible for day-to-day operations of the division and includes two seats for student-athletes, two for faculty and four for commissioners.
The new model also granted flexibility to schools in the Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences to change rules for themselves in a list of specific areas within Division I. The legislative process for these 65 schools includes the three student-athlete representatives from each conference who vote on rule changes.
