Brand has cancer; prognosis 'not good'

OXON HILL, Md. -- Myles Brand, the 66-year-old president of the NCAA, said Saturday that he has pancreatic cancer.
In a statement issued on the last day of the NCAA convention, Brand said he is being treated for the cancer and that his long-term prognosis is "not good."
The NCAA announced last week that its 66-year-old president was undergoing treatment, but the nature of the illness was not revealed until Saturday.

We will keep the Pres. Brand and his family in our prayers.

Does this mean he will be stepping down?
