Chattanooga’s Huff to represent the SoCon on NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Student-Athlete Engagement Group

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball junior guard Honor Huff has been selected to represent the Southern Conference on the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Student-Athlete Engagement Group ahead of the 2024-25 season.
 
As a platform underneath the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Oversight Committee (MBOC), the newly implemented student-athlete engagement group was formed with a goal of amplifying student-athlete voices in basketball on key initiatives, legislation and issues.

"I'm grateful to be a part of such a transformative group which allows me to engage and connect with people and topics that are larger than just myself and my institution," said Huff. "I just want to thank the people involved for seeing me as a valuable asset to represent the Southern Conference and its student-athletes. It's truly an honor."
 
The group was initially established in 2020 on the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball side before the men's engagement group was created and formed in 2023. Both engagement groups are made up of one student-athlete representative from each Division I conference and also provides a direct connection to the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).

About the Men's Basketball Oversight Committee (MBOC)

The Men's Basketball Oversight Committee will ensure that appropriate oversight of men's basketball is maintained, will enhance the development and public perception of the sport and make recommendations related to regular-season and postseason men's basketball. The committee will prioritize enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience (academically and athletically), and in doing so, promote student-athletes' personal growth and leadership development.
 
The Men's Basketball Oversight Committee will supervise qualifications and/or selection procedures for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. The committee will review recommendations from the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee and process other issues related to the administration of the championship. The committee will assume many of the duties of the former NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Issues Committee and will provide direction to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Rules Committee regarding playing rules. The committee will be comprised of representatives from each divisional subgroup.
