McCree was one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassification to NCAA Division I. From 1998 until her appointment as Director of Athletics in 2008, she oversaw the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs.
In 2017, McCree was named to the NCAA Division I Council, a high-level group responsible for the day-to-day decision-making for Division I.
