In his current role\, Gavitt oversees the day-to-day operations of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championship\, as well as the NCAA’s 11-year\, $10.6 billion contracts with broadcast partners CBS and Turner Broadcasting. He also supervises the Postseason NIT and NCAA Divisions II and III Men’s Basketball Championships and serves as the staff’s day-to-day contact to the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and the Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee. \nPrior to his service at the Big East\, Gavitt was director of athletics and recreation at Bryant\, which has one of the largest Division II athletics departments in the country. Earlier in his career\, Gavitt ran his own sports marketing and event management firm\, Craigville Sports Associates; served as an assistant basketball coach at Providence College; and ran the Rick Barnes basketball camp. \nGavitt holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Dartmouth and a Master of Business Administration from Providence.

In his current role\, Gavitt oversees the day-to-day operations of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championship\, as well as the NCAA’s 11-year\, $10.6 billion contracts with broadcast partners CBS and Turner Broadcasting. He also supervises the Postseason NIT and NCAA Divisions II and III Men’s Basketball Championships and serves as the staff’s day-to-day contact to the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and the Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee. \nPrior to his service at the Big East\, Gavitt was director of athletics and recreation at Bryant\, which has one of the largest Division II athletics departments in the country. Earlier in his career\, Gavitt ran his own sports marketing and event management firm\, Craigville Sports Associates; served as an assistant basketball coach at Providence College; and ran the Rick Barnes basketball camp. \nGavitt holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Dartmouth and a Master of Business Administration from Providence.

Michigan State’s streak of 28-straight NCAA Tournament appearances is officially recognized by the NCAA as the nation’s current longest streak.These accomplishments\, however\, are not what make Izzo one of the best in the game\, but rather it is his insatiable desire to accomplish more. \nWith a career record of 764-310\, it’s easy to see that Izzo knows how to win\, but he also knows how to win the right way. In his 30-plus years directing the Spartan program\, 85 percent of his players who completed their eligibility also left with a degree. In the last 27 years\, 75 Spartans have received their undergraduate degrees. \n			\n		\n	\n\n		\n\n\n\n			\n			\n						\n\n												\n											\n											BIO\n		\n					\n		\n		\n				\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n					PANELIST:				\n				\n				\n				\n					Andy Katz				\n				\n				\n				\n									College Basketball Analyst & CorrespondentBig Ten Network & NCAA 								\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n		\n			\n		\n				\n					\n				BIO\n			\n						\n			Andy Katz\nCollege Basketball Analyst & CorrespondentBig Ten Network & NCAA \n\nAndy Katz is a veteran journalist who has covered men's college basketball and the NCAA since 1990.
