The latest issue of Champion magazine is now available online.

The winter 2010 issue features a look at leaders in intercollegiate athletics who have advanced to their current positions from unusual and often non-athletics backgrounds. Also, read why the Division I Men's Basketball Committee's decision in 1984 to expand the tournament to 64 teams was a stroke of genius. Plus, see how far die-hard fans will go to follow their favorite college teams.

Other stories include an in-depth look at how the economy is affecting sports-sponsorship decisions as athletics administrators try to make their programs comply with Title IX. Also included are updates on the presidential-search process, legislative initiatives in all three divisions and the revised NCAA Web site.

Among NCAA people profiled in this issue are Rowan AD Joy Solomen (who also chairs the Division III Football Committee) and ECAC Commissioner Rudy Keeling. On the cover this time is Lycoming wrestler Chris Dahlheimer, who is as talented with computer work as he is on the mat.
