The Missouri Valley Conference Presidents Council announced Jeff Jackson, the executive associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, as Doug Elgin's successor on Wednesday. Jackson, a former football and basketball player at Cornell University in the 1980s, coached hoops for 30 years and currently oversees men's basketball for the Big 12. A part of that league's senior leadership team, he also oversaw the Big 12 Conference Tournament. Jackson will take over for Elgin, who is retiring after 33 years as the Valley's commissioner, on July 1.
