<P> The committee members include one current athletic director from each of the five "major" conferences--ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac - 12, and SEC--also known as the Power Five conferences . Other members are former coaches, players, athletic directors, and administrators, plus a retired member of the media . The goal was for the panel to consist proportionally of current "Power Five" athletic directors, former coaches, and a third group of other voters, excluding current conference commissioners, coaches, and media members . During the selection process, organizers said they wanted the committee to be geographically balanced . Conference commissioners submitted lists totaling more than 100 names from which to select the final committee members . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Member </Th> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> Conference affiliation </Th> <Th> Season (s) </Th> <Th> Replaced by </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gould, Michael C.
