Mellencamp to honor Myles Brand

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Rocker John Mellencamp, soprano Sylvia McNair and CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz will headline a tribute to former NCAA president Myles Brand.

The NCAA says the Oct. 28 tribute at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis will chronicle Brand's career and achievements. It will come six weeks after his Sept. 16 death at age 67 from pancreatic cancer.

Attendance is by invitation, but limited seats are available to the public. Those interested in attending should apply at ncaa.org by Monday.

Indiana U.S. Sens. Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh, ex-Sen. Birch Bayh, Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and NBA commissioner David Stern are expected to deliver video tributes.
