Is it time for the NCAA to be replaced?

While the NCAA is still under the mushroom cloud of allegations that surfaced following an FBI investigation that uncovered widespread corruption at several high-profile schools, NCAA president Mark Emmert was at Harvard University on Monday night for a panel that explored the relationship between athletics and higher education.

Emmert, Ivy League executive director Robin Harris, UConn president Susan Herbst, and Robert Morris president Chris Howard discussed college sports’ more pressing issues from gender equity to race to concussions to mental health.

But the elephant in the room was the scandal that swept the NCAA, and moderator James Soto Antony of Harvard asked Emmert pointedly, “Does the NCAA have any teeth?”

While Emmert explained that the NCAA was simply an association self-regulating colleges, he acknowledged that the system as presently designed is a flawed one.

“When you look at the NCAA’s ability to oversee sport, you’re really asking, ‘Can universities and colleges themselves oversee sport?’ ” Emmert said. “When you look at the basketball scandals that have been unearthed by the FBI and the Southern District of New York’s attorney’s office what you see is a group of relationships that have evolved, or maybe more accurately devolved, over a period of time and created an environment that is incredibly unhealthy and a system that is clearly not working in this dynamic.”

Well said Mark. He answers a question with a question. Then he said what everyone else already knows. He has no responsibility for any of it and takes no responsibility for it. Well what the hell are you getting paid for Mark?

To retroactively enact and enforce laws against UConn.

'68 I was thinking the same thing. As I said at the time, we never should let the retro-active punishment go unchallenged.
