The Board in Control Records were received with the papers of the Athletic Directors and reflect the directors role on the Board, for many years the Athletic Director served as secretary of the Board. Some of these records complement material found in the Board In Control of Intercollegiate Athletics record group.

The series is organized in four subseries: administrative records, Committees, Correspondence and Topical File. The administrative records include original incorporation papers of the Board and its annual filing with the state; annual reports, 1969-1979 and audits, 1993-1996. The correspondence series consists primarily of internal communications of the Board. The topical file includes two significant reports: the "Johnson Report," 1988, on the role and administration of athletics on campus and the "Nordby Report," 1985, on the integration of women's athletics into Big Ten Programs.
