(Sports Network) - The NCAA announced on Tuesday that Gene Smith, the current associate vice president and athletics director at Ohio State, has been named chair of the Division I Men's Basketball Committee for the 2010-11 academic year.

Dan Guerrero will continue as chair of the committee until September 1, 2010, when Smith takes over pending approval by the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet.

Smith has served on the men's basketball committee for three years and has been a member of several other councils for intercollegiate athletics.

"Being a member of the men's basketball committee is a prestigious honor that comes with incredible responsibility to our membership," Smith said. "I have the highest possible respect for the colleagues with whom I serve. There is a high level of admiration for the way past chairs have handled keeping with the mission of this committee, and I look forward to the opportunity to continue the important work of this group."

The Notre Dame alumnus has also served as athletics director at Iowa State (1993-2000) and Arizona State (2000-2005).
