I'm saying this finds a way to go nowhere. He's the guy who hired Nick Saban for LSU, and we tend to forget he's really good at using the deflection shield:

Digging into the past of NCAA President Mark Emmert (Brent Schrotenboer, USA TODAY Sports April 3, 2013)
The man entrusted as the NCAA's moral compass is seen as both a deft manager with politician-like savvy and a self-serving salesman who escapes blame when scandal visits.
*“ At LSU, an academic fraud scandal emerged in the football program under then-coach Nick Saban in 2001-02. Emmert oversaw an investigation into the allegations made by a university instructor that eventually acknowledged five minor and isolated violations and declared most of the claims "unfounded."
Emmert even met on LSU's behalf with the NCAA, which accepted LSU's findings. But after Emmert decided to leave LSU in 2004, a witness testified in a deposition that the instructor was telling the truth and that the problems were far more systemic than the school admitted, even extending to grades being changed for football players, according to court records.
The culture was "appalling" and "like Romper Room," the employee said in 2004 testimony.”
