GREENSBORO, N.C. – Harli Hubbard of the NC State softball team has been re-elected by the Atlantic Coast Conference as an autonomy representative for the 2018-19 year, as announced by the league office Tuesday.
Hubbard is one of three student athlete representatives who will hold voting power on proposed NCAA rule changes under the Division I autonomy process. She will join Miami's Demetrius Jackson (football), who was also re-elected for another term, and UNC-Chapel Hill's Taylor Koenen (women's basketball).
As members of the ACC Autonomy Committee, they will be invited to attend various ACC governance meetings and participate as members of the voting delegation at the 2019 NCAA Convention. Hubbard is the only student-athlete from NC State to be selected for this process.
A senior from Camas, Wash., Hubbard is currently the president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at NC State and is a member of the ACC's SAAC. She has made a total of 58 appearances in the circle for the Wolfpack, including eight in the starting spot. As a sophomore she broke the program record for saves in a single season with four, eclipsing the previous mark by two.
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.
