Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3080315, member: 40"] Oh, and what am I doing? I sent an email to Mark Emmert when this scandal broke, blasting the NCAA for being complicit while this was going on. I sent an email to him chastising the hypocrisy of his "wheelhouse" comment re: UNC, which conveniently moved the goalposts and let them off the hook. On this forum, I've repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the NCAA as an ineffectual governing body -- and when the time comes, I'm going to support the P5 breaking off and forming their own league, with rules that are applicable to contemporary college athletics as big business. And I've been criticized for taking that stance, with admonitions about "be careful what you wish for" and "what replaces it might be worse." I'm not sure how that is possible, frankly -- the system we currently have in place is about as bad as it could possibly be, given the hypocritical stance supported by the NCAA re: amateur athletics.
