Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 5262962, member: 5436"] Someone in the sports journalist field who is considered as a fair, honest news person should go back and write an article on exactly how we got here. And how is that? Mark Emmert... with his unique blend of ignorance and arrogance. Mark Emmert and his contemporary NCAA cronies (a bunch of university presidents and conference commissioners should be included in there, too) deserve to be held up and skewered for the way they bungled this whole thing, right from the get go. Their arrogant stupidity has as much to do with the current state of NIL and college basketball as any single thing since this whole movement toward paying college athletes started. I can only imagine that someone... either a lawyer, or advisor of some type tried to explain to that putz that this outcome was something he should have been preparing for. The fact that guy got a golden parachute is pathetic. He should have been fired and then sued for lying and malfeasance. The fact his reign as head of the NCAA has ever been held up as "successful" by anyone with half a brain instead of the abject failure it truly was is a freaking joke. His ignorance was bad enough... But his sanctimonious attitude that came through time and time again when being interviewed about it shows how much of an epic failure he truly was. Someone needs to slap Mark Emmert upside the head and lay this at his feet, once and for all. [/QUOTE]
