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.
