MOREHEAD - Louisa native Brian Hutchinson, Morehead State University's Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, has recently been appointed to two prestigious NCAA committees. Hutchinson has been picked to serve on the Division I Football Issues Committee and on the Division I-AA Football Governance Committee.

“I am honored to represent the Pioneer Football League and Morehead State University on these committees, Hutchinson said. “The Division I Football Issues Committee and the Division I-AA Governance Committee both serve as advisory and policy-development groups to the Management Council. It is a pleasure to serve with both groups, all for the betterment of college football.”
