The National Collegiate Basketball Championship is administered and supervised by the nine-person NCAA Division I Basketball Committee. This committee is nominated by the NCAA Committee on Committees and elected by the NCAA membership at the Association's annual Convention.
Current chairman of the committee is Wayne Duke, commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. Duke became a member of the committee in 1975. In 1977, he succeeded Stan Watts, retired director of athletics and head basketball coach at Brigham Young University, as committee chairman.
The committee's newest members are Vic Bubas, commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference; Dave Gavitt, director of athletics at Providence College, and Russ Potts, director of athletics at Southern Methodist University. Bubas, Gavitt and Potts were elected from six to nine members.

Other committee members include Larry Albus, commissioner of the Metro Conference (since 1974); Willis Casey, director of athletics at North Carolina State University (since 1974), and Ken Karr of San Diego State University (since 1975).
Each committee member is elected for a three-year term and may be reelected for a second term.
