HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss Director of Athletics Jeremy McClain will help determine future collegiate baseball tournament fields after being appointed to a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee.
"I am honored to be selected to serve on the Division I Baseball Committee for the next four years," said McClain. "I look forward to working with the NCAA staff and a great group of committee members to serve our coaches and student-athletes and continue to help promote college baseball."
McClain will be a part of the 10-person committee that selects the annual 64-school tournament field. His four-year tenure on the committee begins on Sept. 1, 2024, and continues through Aug. 31, 2028.
The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee is responsible for selecting, seeding and bracketing the entire 64-team tournament field, which currently includes the automatic qualification of 30 conference champions with the remainder of the field selected as at-large choices by the committee.
The committee also has oversight on the operation of the Division I baseball championship in general. In addition, they discuss and make recommendations regarding legislation regarding sport-specific issues, but the primary role is oversight of the championship.
The NCAA Division I Baseball Championship includes three rounds of play - the regionals, super regionals and Men's College World Series. The Men's CWS is held in Omaha, Neb., each year.
School and conference administrators receive nomination by their conference and represent a cross-section of the Division I membership to earn selection to the committee.
