the country to cheer for our favorite teams and celebrate W our alma maters. But let’s not forget why we’re really cheer- ing. College sports, our iconic and treasured American pastimes, are so much

more than what you’ll see in these championship events.

This year, more than 54,000 student-athletes will compete in an NCAA national championship and share with their teammates a unique sense of joy and accomplishment. But I’ve seen time and time again how the student-athletes who are succeeding at the highest level of sports competition are also achieving impressive academic success and giving back to their communities. One of them at the final site of this very championship will be honored as the sport’s student because he or she holds the highest grade point average among the event’s competitors. The Elite 89 award honors their achievement because it represents everything for which the NCAA stands. Athletics plays an essential role in those accom- plishments: student-athletes consistently tell me their love for their sport is what drives them to suc- ceed. Ultimately, it’s the success they experience not only on the field, but in the classroom and in life that makes these championships so meaningful. It’s a chance for us all to stand and cheer on the next generation of leaders and innovators who will ulti- mately drive progress in our communities. It is why test — in their sport and in their studies. 19,000 teams will share in a meaningful journey the commitment to higher education is a value we A lucky few will hoist a trophy in the air when they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. all share. And when we cheer for them at these events like this one are finished, and they will hear I’m glad you’re here to celebrate one of those events, we’re really celebrating the hard work, deter- the cheers of their elated fans. Just remember that moments of student-athlete success. Enjoy the mination and perseverance that helped them ace the along the path to those 89 moments, more than championship.

Athletics plays an ESSENTIAL ROLE in those accomplishments: student-athletes consistently tell me their

LOVE FOR THEIR SPORT IS WHAT DRIVES THEM TO SUCCEED. Ultimately, it’s the SUCCESS they experience

not only on the field, but in the CLASSROOM and in LIFE that makes these championships so meaningful.
