Mark Emmert gets contract extension

[MainLineCane]

The NCAA may not be around long enough for him to fulfill his contract.

It's akin to giving the Captain of the Titanic a raise a the start of their cruise

 

[Go Canes!!]

Everything you need to know about this decision. These ******* idiots deserve what’s coming:

 

[Torocane]

Good news for bama and the sec.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

The courts are going to give the NCAA the treatment it deserves.

 

[Cold-hearted Cane]

Good news for bama and the sec.

I expect Saban to retire in 2025 now.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

It’s well deserved.

He works three jobs and needs to fairly compensated and rewarded commensurately:

His current position as head of the NCAA, SEC commissioner/bodyguard, and Nick Saban‘s personal towel boy.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

I expect Saban to retire in 2025 now.

And take over as the new President of the NCAA

And take over as the new President of the NCAA

Come on, Saban doesn't need to take that job. Instead, the SEC will select someone else as the new NCAA President...

SSDD. Confirms that not only is Emmett incompetent but those charged with his oversight are even more so.

Hopefully this is what drives the P5 conferences out of the NCAA. If the SEC doesn't want to join, then that is fine. Enjoy whatever you are left with.

I hear what you are saying. However, if you don't think a P5 version of the NCAA wouldn't be dominated by the SEC...

I just think we have to be realistic with our expectations...

It would be, because money talks. However, at least we would have a fighting chance there in terms of how inconsistently the NCAA enforces its rules. At a minimum it can't be much worse than the double standards we need to deal with now. Also, why is the president of Georgetown, a school generally unbothered by athletics since John Thompson retired, in any way a decision maker on Emmert staying. The guy has absolutely zero real world experience as to how these policies affect schools.

The NCAA was worried that other entities would be able to dirty-recruit against them if Emmert didn't have an extension in place.

Extremely underrated post.

He is one of many on that board. Includes d2 and D3 reps also. It isn’t just D1

On another thread, when I point out that "money will talk" on expansion of the playoff field, certain people ****e down their own legs trying to claim that this will ruin college football.

Oh well, I just don't think that any governing body will do anything that is, in any way, favorable to Miami. Or even neutral towards Miami.

At least not on purpose.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. (who was going to stop it?!)

SEC-SEC-SEC!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I heard the faint chant coming over the state line from Alabama when the story broke.

Whether it will ruin it or not is irrelevant. If there is enough money to be made, it will expand, and they are going to have to offset some form of likeness expense at some point. Let's also not forget that Mark Emmert in his brilliance gave away the rights to the cash cow that is the football playoff.

You are not wrong, and I fear it will be like The Who said... meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The question is whether the unknown is better or worse than the known commodity. In any case, I trust Blake James to put his foot down to ensure we are treated well and the ACC to have our backs.

NCAA is ruining college football.
