Finances, oversight, fair play the focus of legislative hearing into NCHSAA Updated: 2021-04-15 21:26:40 Tags: Updated April 15, 2021 9:26 p.m. EDT By Nick Stevens, HighSchoolOT managing editor Raleigh, N.C. — N.C. High School Athletic Association Commissioner Que Tucker spent more than two hours answering questions from state lawmakers about several topics related to high school sports in North Carolina. The hearing was the first held by the Subcommittee on Interscholastic Athletics, a new subcommittee formed this week to investigate the NCHSAA. Legislators spent a large portion of the hearing asking questions about the NCHSAA's financial situation. A presentation by Sen. Vickie Sawyer (R-Iredell) included previously confidential information from the association. It revealed that the NCHSAA's total assets, more than $41 million, outpace all other state associations in the country. It is more than double the Iowa High School Athletic Association, which has the second highest asset value, but is less than $20 million. Additionally, Sawyer showed that the NCHSAA's total assets were comparable to the Atlantic Coast Conference's total assets, despite having significantly fewer expenses.
