Episode 081: Oliver Luck – EVP For NCAA: Paying College Athletes & Being Andrew Luck’s Dad

Oliver Luck is an incredibly interesting person.  He truly understands the importance of an intense focus on continuous improvement.  I really appreciate Oliver’s willingness to discuss some controversial topics as well as his ability to compromise for the betterment of student athletes today.  We are extremely fortunate to have Oliver share his knowledge with us, the loyal listeners of The Learning Leader Show. 

Oliver Luck works for the NCAA as the Executive Vice President for regulatory affairs, in charge of the organization's regulatory functions. Prior to that, he was Director of Intercollegiate Athletes at West Virginia University, his alma mater. Earlier in his life, Oliver spent five seasons in the NFL as a quarterback for the Houston Oilers.

He is the father of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.  Andrew was the 1st overall draft choice in the 2012 NFL Draft.
