Mark Emmert is full of crap, period. These are student athletes, not school property. If a kid is buried on a depth chart, or plays for a school that's not allowing him to showcase his talent b/c maybe, just maybe, he wants a shot to play at the next level, then why in the world would he not be allowed to play at another school? Why is he allowed to be restricted where he can and can't go? If another school is willing to pick up the tab on a scholly or if that kid is willing to pay out of pocket or work his way to getting another scholly, then why not?
The NCAA needs to be disbanded. On one hand, they trip if a kid gets a visit from a coach during the "dead period", but on the other hand they don't trip if a coach is trying to ruin a kids potential livelihood. On one hand, they trip if a kid gets a meal paid for him by a booster, but on the other hand if a powerful SEC school is providing "discounts" on luxury cars from their faithful boosters, it's all good. On one hand if a school covers up wild parties, shame on u, but if a powerful SEC school covers up numerous sexual assaults, "hey, none of our business, let title IX take care of that.
The inconsistencies of this quasi leadership baffles me and they should be gone.
