Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 4010652, member: 5436"] This press conference and his "new narrative" just proves that Emmert is nothing more than the P5 conference commissioners and presidents talking, walking beotch. This bureaucrat piece of whale dung has had years... YEARS... going back to the the original decision in the Charles O'Bannon antitrust lawsuit in 2014. The writing was on the wall. He and the NCAA could have been proactive and tried to formulate a new direction for collegiate sports then. But nope... as your typical bureaucrat who is desperate to hold onto his and his cronies' power as long as he can (to profit as much as he can until the bitter end) all we heard out of Emmert was backward thinking, overload mentality BS. Just go back and look at his testimony during that trial and commentary afterward, and for most of the time since. I truly dislike few people, as I tend to try and find the good in most everyone. But Mark Emmert is very easy to dislike. A lot. He has proven time and time again to be a smug, disingenuous bureaucrat since well before he was made NCAA President, including during his time here at UConn. He and most of the commissioners and presidents who pull his strings have no one to blame but themselves for where this is at right now, and going forward. Of course, they are all getting rich off of their prolonged, ongoing, blatant mismanagement. It is all so pathetic to watch. [/QUOTE]
