Here's some reaction from IU to the death of former president Myles Brand:
"I was very sad to hear about the passing of Myles Brand. He was a great man." - Mike Davis, former IU men's basketball coach and current UAB coach.
"I think he's a man who had a vision about what the university was about, about academics," Freitag said. "He knew athletics was important to IU. He tried to make the commitment to both and was a gentleman who stood up to his word. He was a gentleman who gave his heart and soul. We're saddened by his passing, but we're fortunate to have him for the years we did." - Mike Freitag, IU men's soccer coach
"I think college presidents have always been a little leery of college athletics and the NCAA. When one of their own became president, I think it really helped as far as the intuition of the NCAA." - Lin Loring, IU women's tennis coach
"His contributions to IU will transcend (the controversy after the firing of Bob Knight)." - Patrick Shoulders, IU board of trustees member
