NCAA's Emmert: It is time to decentralize college sports

[sjt18]

The NCAA is the schools. They aren't some separate body like a country club. The agreements are only as effective as the schools want them to be.

I didn't say they weren't.

Ace Hardware is a cooperative of over 5,000 stores and 3,000+ individual store owners. The local owners own a share of the corporation. They do not have public stock or owners that are not owners of a store. That does not prevent the corporation from having rules that the stores must abide by.... created either by consensus or a representative board. There are mechanisms for removing stores from the cooperative or penalizing them for refusing.

It is nothing like a country club. It is a functioning and successful business model.

Because sadly all schools cheat to some degree. They go public. Emmert does an investigation and Bama is clean or gets a wrist slap but the school who initiated the claim against Bama gets nailed. You may ask why Emmert goes to great lengths to cover for Bama ? Because he owes Saban. When Emmert and Saban were at LSU there was an academic scandal that Saban helped Emmert cover up. That not only saved Emmert’s career but Saban helped him get the the NCAA job. Bama has had the perfect set up for cheating since Saban arrived. A puppet running the NCAA, a puppet running the SEC, and it doesn’t hurt having former Bama grads managing the referees and replays In Birmingham.

Saban's ownership stake in several automotive dealerships doesn't hurt either
