Emmert, Ivy League executive director Robin Harris, [B][COLOR=#ff0000]UConn president Susan Herbst[/COLOR][/B], 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.”[/I] [URL="http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/colleges/2017/10/16/emmert/PMSdHC8j5jwstzXm5AReLK/story.html"]NCAA’s Mark Emmert discusses scandal, fallout at Harvard panel - The Boston Globe[/URL] [/QUOTE]
