mark emmert is "profoundly concerned" about the lack of trust the public has in the NCAA.

See the link below. From the article:

"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- NCAA president Mark Emmert met with a pair of influential senators Tuesday to continue his organization's uphill battle to maintain control over the future of college sports.

Emmert has spent a large amount of his time in the nation's capital in the latter half of 2019. He said last week that the vast majority of his workload is now focused on navigating a minefield of legal and legislative challenges to what he calls the "collegiate model" of sports.

Those various challenges are all attempts to reform a system that -- NCAA stakeholders and the general public both agree -- has outgrown its amateur roots and needs to create new ways for athletes to share in the fruits of a multi-billion dollar industry. Amid deteriorating public confidence in the NCAA and Emmert's ability to fix their own problems, the longtime president is looking for help from a group that the NCAA has previously tried hard to avoid: federal lawmakers.

During a panel discussion at the Aspen Institute Tuesday, Emmert said he was "profoundly concerned" about the lack of trust the public has in the NCAA. He disagreed with the notion that going to Congress was a last resort, but said "It's an appropriate time given where we are on the issue.""

I am outraged! Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black. No racism intended.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ NCAA is a business and he is making millions sitting there acting like he gives 2 sh!ts about an even playing field. He needs the money coming in and the walls are starting to fracture.

 

[83wuzme]

As we used to say in the old neighborhood “ No sh-t, Sherlock “.

 

[We Are . . .]

Mark Emmert is profoundly deficient in self-awareness.

 

[NittPicker]

Emmert's main concern is his own future. How a moron like him managed to get a seven figure salary is a mystery.

 

[Bob78]

Maybe Louis Freeh can create some non-existent dirt on a few G5 schools with semi-popular coaches that they can hammer into oblivion and then MarkE can again remind the world how tough and caring they are.

No bowls for you, FIU! Omg, Colorado State.... we are gonna pretend you've done it now! FU, FAU!

MarkE is the very definition of a non-self-aware asshat.

When the history of the death of the NCAA is written, a major turning point will be what they did to PSU. Their facially-fraudulent attack on us, combined with their wimpy failure vis a vis UNC, showed thinking people all they need to know about the worthlessness of Emmert's org.

 

[Mister Magoo]

GTFO

 

[Whaaaaaaaany]

Well, partnering up with a bunch of politicians should do wonders for helping to regain your public trust.

 

[PSU_Chicago]

a good first step would be his resignation.

He balanced out his lack of ability with a complete lack of integrity.

Absolutely correct. Boggles the mind that the NCAA which is getting hammered on so many fronts continues to employ this buffoon.

When you go out of bounds with PSU and let Miami with its Yacht parties and NC with decades of bullshit classes and classroom cheating off the hook....whaddaya think is gonna happen??

There’s always time for regrets after the money has been made and you’re headed out the door.

I'm profoundly concerned that this clown is still in charge of the NCAA. WTF is wrong with that organization?

 

[gslachta]

Absolutely correct. Boggles the mind that the NCAA which is getting hammered on so many fronts continues to employ this buffoon.

The employers are buffoons as well! Remember Ted Ray? There is a whole group of Ted Rays and Lou Ann Simons!

Wanted: competent, accomplished new captain for Titanic.”

Response: crickets.
Alt response: how much?

Uh, we said “competent and accomplished.” If we wanted someone like you, we’d just stick with Mark.

Nope. I don’t remember him.

The nicest thing I can say is Emmert and Congress deserve each other.

I hope Emmert dies a slow, painful death!

Then he can rot in hell

 

[gregoryj95]

What a lie. If he was truly concerned, if he truly cared about the image of the NCAA, he would resign. Today. All he is profoundly concerned about it money and power.

 

[dksdr1]

Emmert and our United States Senators.......a classic example of “the blind leading the blind!”

 

[Zenophile]

TED Ray?

Nope. I don’t remember him.

Ted Ray, Ed Ray, whatever it takes.

Disagree. The turning point is paying players, and maybe the lack of penalties for UNC.

Outside of this fanbase, there are really only two camps of people, those who think we got what we deserved or deserved worse still and those who are apathetic and just don't care. There might be some individuals who agree we got screwed, but it is in no way a large group.
