Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 3117512, member: 780"] There’s a lot of confusion about what the NCAA really is and who controls it. Some seem to think it’s a free-standing, independent organization that makes its own decisions. It is NOT. The NCAA is the agent of the University and College presidents. That’s who they take their orders from. If the college presidents don’t like it, the NCAA can’t do it. Think of the college presidents as the owners who have hired some guys to administer the system for them. Every important thing they do has to have the support of the college presidents. What the NCAA executives think or want to do counts for almost nothing on an important issue like this. The tension in the NCAA has always been between the big schools and the small schools. There are lots of smaller schools and on many things each gets a vote. If a majority of college presidents don’t like what California is doing, they can get their agents, the NCAA to attempt to punish them. [/QUOTE]
