Anyone is better than Emmert.

 

[BigNastyJon]

What’s his stance on giving Boeheim his wins back?

 

[Cheriehoop]

UMass to the Big 10

 

[MSOrange]

Good luck to Charlie. Can't say it's a job I would love to have, but I'd think it can only go up from what Emmert did. Don't prove me wrong Charlie!

 

[sutomcat]

He was born in Elmira so he must be a good person...

I remember when Emmert was promoted, and he talked big about how he was going to "modernize" the NCAA rule book to eliminate antiquated restrictions, etc.

Instead of bringing the NCAA forward, his tenure was an unmitigated disaster -- and set the wheels in motion for the NCAA to die a slow death.

To think a Maxwell School alum would run the NCAA into the ground - such a shame.

Let’s hope a local native (Elmira) can do better.

Well, Someone must go down with the ship I guess

He was the CEO of an organization I worked for and he was fantastic. Hope he does the same for the NCAA.

He’s the former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim. I think he’ll try hard to evolve the NCAA to meet the needs/demands of the P5.

for a second I thought it was Charles Barkley

Nice to hear he played college basketball. That being said, nothing will change.

Sadly the people in charge of this "non profit" likely look at Emmert as a great success.

 

[NKR1978]

$3m/yr plus a private jet and who knows what else. Not bad for a non profit.

He did a lot that was bad too, though.

Why does the head of the ncaa make a bunch of money ? They provide zero value. All they do is make you hate the organization

YOU THINK THAT'S EASY??? HUH, KID?

Aren't the vast majority of large charities and non profits scams? I saw a video the other day of a pastor bragging that his watch cost more than his first house that he purchased for $89,000. The Komen foundation is a scam where most of the donations go to admin costs. Billionaires "donate" money to their personal charities and get massive tax breaks. It's all a scam.

Emmert was a colossal disaster. But if you really want to ruin an organization put a politician in charge.

“Trusts” and “foundations” are great places to hide money if you want to not pay your taxes.

For a second I thought it was the Finger Lakes/NYRA trainer.

Trust tax rates accelerate from lowest to highest marginal rate much more quickly than person income. (Trust Tax Rates and Exemptions for 2022 - SmartAsset)
