NCAA forms Commission on College Basketball

[Noexcuse]

Emmett must not have a mirror.

Wouldn't make a difference if he did. He doesn't have a reflection.

Form a committee LOL.

View attachment 112471

I had a boss who used to say "A camel is a horse designed by committee."

 

[Orangello]

Committee decides to ban Jerry Tarkanian from college basketball for life after they decide to have Jimmy Johns over Popeyes for lunch following a 2 hour debate. Emmert advises other Committeee members they cannot tip the JJ's driver, possible violation, of something.

Hey, my friend Jeff Hathaway is on the commission. He's a pretty thoughtful guy. He lost his job as AD at UConn after a power play by Jim Calhoun. He subsequently served as chairman of the NCAA selection committee in 2012 where we got a #1 seed we probably didn't deserve (because of Fab Melo ineligibility), but still came within 2 points of reaching the Final 4.

Did not know he landed at Hofstra. Good for him.

First look at the committee

 

[PeteCalvin]

As was already stated in the thread, this is nothing more than damage control and a last ditch effort to keep the FBI from coming in and bringing the whole house down. "We got this guys. You can start going after terrorists again."

What a clown show. If they really wanted to do something about this, they would put Sonny V on the committee. He knows where ALL the skeletons are buried.

This committee is an anti-FBI force field to protect the blue bloods and save the revenue stream.

Mark Emmert looks like one of those made-to- look-real sex dolls in that tweet photo. Keep it creepy Mark!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So, where's the committee for football?

 

[bballbeadle]

This gives them an out to go light on UNC, Louisville, and others and say the system was broken and now we have a commission to fix it. No sense dwelling in the past, but we're going to be really tough when Syracuse breaks the new rules.

It’s not paranoia if they really are after you!

Hold some Congressional Hearings and everything will be AOK.

 

[Fly Rodder]

How much is the NCAA paying these commitee members?

 

[Oakland]

Baylor is now safe.

 

[jncuse]

The NCAA must fundamentally change the way they operate. It seems this is just a good old lets make sure we continue to F over the revenue generating athletes type meeting.

 

[FireballPhil]

And they are going to have all this done by the April meeting? No way it will ever be done right in just a few months time.

Notice how none of this even references football. I'm glad that there are zero issues in football recruiting and its totally clean.

Not one current student athlete? Pathetic.

Student athletes: What did you expect? Dey jus da Steppin Fetchitts. Dey is jus a commodity an asset to be used and disposed of. Dis ain't about the "student" athlete, never has been, never will be. NCAA just games dem. Minute NCAA gets gamed dey get all up in arms about it. Uncle Drew tells it like it is!

What do bureaucratic organizations do when they don't want to do anything? Or they want to "run the clock" until the public forgets.

Appoint a committee or a commission springs to mind as a strategy.

This is just a stupid statement to make by saying players took a pay cut from the NCAA to the NBA so just pay the players. Really how much then, 1-2 $million.? These players will still grab any amount of cash under the table no matter how much you pay them on the books.....Josh Childress: 'I Know Guys Who Took a Pay Cut' Going From the NCAA to NBA

Just like anyone else. A person's labor should be an open market. Efforts to restrict free agency just result in shady dealings. Colleges and universities shouldn't be in the professional sports business. If they want to though, the should operate the revenue teams as a separate subsidiary (e.g., the Syracuse University Sports Academy) with separate books. I don't know if that would violate any school's specific bylaws and charters, but trying to square the circle that revenue athletes are amateur is a losing battle. All it does is force everyone involved to play complicated games to avoid the obvious. Let the pro-ready kids go pro, the others can sign contracts and play for their sports academies and earn a lifetime scholarship (apparently Duke and UK already offer this, not sure about SU).

What would change? Alabama and UK would get the best recruits? As opposed to now?

"This commission will be created to protect blue blood basketball schools from the FBI"

 

[pearl31]

uh does everyone now understand what this announcement yesterday was? it was effectively the intro, and easing into, the (non) sanctions that came out today...
the cartel is always so cleverly preemptive!
