Read the damning article about his inept tenure leading to the disaster the NIL may turn out to be in The Athletic.
 


NCAA gets to play the boogie man, but the NCAA members are ultimately in charge ... we'll see if they choose to be.

That was a good read, no doubt. I'll be more optimistic when Warren is right on his heels out the door.

Imagine a college sports world where schools are able to offer each baseball player a full scholarship. Or if a football team’s on-field coaching staff could exceed 25 people.

What if the transfer portal was open to players for just three months out of the year? And what if the recruiting calendar featured no evaluation or quiet periods?

There is a distinct possibility these ideas could become more than just concepts.

The Transformation Committee, a group of high-ranking college leaders charged with overhauling and modernizing NCAA governance, is considering revolutionary changes some administrators describe as “radical.” In a briefing with athletic administrators this week in Dallas, committee leaders revealed ideas to deregulate longtime NCAA bylaws and decentralize such decisions to the conferences.

“It’s going to make some heads explode,” says one athletic director.

The Transformation Committee decided to share the concepts in an apparent effort to prepare administrators for impending change that is even more transformative than many expected. And many officials believe Tuesday night’s announcement that NCAA president Mark Emmert plans to resign next June is a first step in what will be a new NCAA, with transforming starting at the very top.
 

I don't think the NCAA President really makes that much difference. It's more a matter of style and PR.

In terms of real meaningful change, that has to come from the college Presidents, and from the major conferences.

the major conferences have more power now than ever, due in large part to TV rights deals.

so it comes down to a question of whether the Presidents want to be pro-active, or keep being cautious and react after the fact.

The article above indicated, at least at the very top levels, that conferences are going to be more in control of rules and regulations.


We all know what this means for the very top of college football: the SEC (ie Triple-A of NFL) is going to set the rules that they want.

Will the Big Ten join them and (largely) agree to those rules? Will any other conference? Will Notre Dame? Will any other schools leave their conference to do so, thinking like Clemson, Florida State, Miami, USC, Oregon, Arizona State, Washington.
 

Zero leadership in the men playing women's sport issue as well. The Penn swimming thing is a disaster for women's sports
