Emmert given a contract extension

He should have been fired after the Penn State mess.

But he's been a neutered housecat ever since. If the NCAA is going to be impotent under his watch, then let him stay. It's best for everyone that the NCAA keeps losing every significant battle.

Agree with your general point. Just hate to see utter incompetence and downright scandalous behavior get rewarded.

From what I understand, Oliver Luck is in charge of enforcement now. The NCAA has to protect itself in court and that's why you see all these NOA's going out. UNC will be sanctioned into the dirt pretty soon as well. They're getting their balls back out of necessity, or else Congress will revoke their anti trust exemption.

The NCAA doesn't have an anti-trust exemption. The schools do, and Congress isn't going to revoke them over sports.

Further, the NCAA isn't enforcing anything because they keep losing every legal challenge that gets brought up. Congress can't make things any worse than they already are.

Oh yes, they can. If the NCAA is no longer willing to police academic fraud and other forms of misconduct that affect the well being of student athletes, the NCAA will cease to exist as we know it. Lots of eyes on the UNC case for this very reason.

You're recognizing the problem, but you're missing who's responsible. The NCAA has rules about academics as a means to enforce amateurism and fair play among its voluntary membership. But the NCAA has no legal responsibility to enforce academic standards, or punish academic malfeasance.

If academic fraud has occurred at an institution to the point that it runs afoul of state or federal guidelines, then it's the institution that is responsible for recognizing, reporting, and fixing the issue. The NCAA isn't an arm of any government, branch, or department. It isn't tasked with doing Congress' job, nor the job of any of the various accreditation organizations.

You could have bypassed these two paragraphs by asking him "can you cite what laws they have broken?"

The days of the NCAA hammering a P5 school in basketball or football are over. Nothing is there to stop them from leaving the NCAA and without them the NCAA will cease to exist.

He looks like an old man-kid, IMO

Sorry, this is my first time seeing a picture of him.

When the fraud is used as a means to maintain eligibility for NCAA athletes as is so often the case, the eligibility of said athletes and the athletic programs themselves are at the mercy of the NCAA. They have no legal power over the Universities or their academic departments, but they have carte blanche to nuke the sports programs if the means of attaining eligibility are fraudulent.

The NCAA's student athlete model is predicated on the notion that they are "students first" and being provided an education in lieu of direct payment ($$$). Maintaining academic eligibility standards for student athletes is NCAA policy 101. It's why they exist.

If the NCAA no longer has the power to police it's own members, Congress will replace it with a new governing body that will.

If you think the fall of the NCAA will usher in a new wild west era of buying recruits and basket weaving classes for the Blue Bloods of college sports, you're in for a surprise.

Question for clarity:

Do you believe that Congress created the NCAA, and/or oversees it?
