NCAA's Emmert: 'Mixed emotions' on tenure end

NCAA president Mark Emmert said he has "very mixed emotions" about his 12-year tenure ending as the college sports industry sorts through several potentially existential issues.

Maybe the PSU BOT can hire Emmet as a "consultant" to President Neeli, since by their reasoning, two bloated, overbearing bags of monkey-Sh-t is better than one bloated overbearing bag of monkey-sh-t aka Eric Barron....

 

[CvilleElksCoach]

He wants to untangle the issues he ignored for the last decade that resulted in our current mess? This guy is so delusional. But this is on the universities for allowing this guy to continue his employment. Thanks for the show ahole.

Emmert has mixed emotions about the end of his tenure?

 

[PSU73]

Perhaps he's bailing because of his hand in/or lack thereof with regards to NIL and the potential impact this evolution will have on the NCAA's relevance going forward. I suspect some folks in Indianapolis are wondering about their costly investment to land the NCAA HQ there and the NCAA's future. Some of the details of that:
----------------
Source: Indianapolis Business Journal (as excerpted)
The inside story: How Indianapolis landed the NCAA headquarters
March 19, 2021 | Greg Andrews

Leaders of the Indianapolis bid [to land the NCAA HQ there] put together a $50 million package that included $25 million from government, $10 million from the Lilly Endowment and $15 million from the business community.

At stake was landing a high-profile organization that then had about 300 employees and a $250 million budget. In addition to staging sports championships, the NCAA carried an economic punch by hosting events, meetings and conventions.
“Their requirement was, ‘If we move, the No. 1 criteria is it can’t cost us anything. We have to come out the other end and not tell our member institutions we spent money getting this done,’” said Randy Tobias, who was Eli Lilly and Co.’s CEO at the time.
Under the city’s bid, the state built the NCAA headquarters, using Hoosier native Michael Graves as architect, and leased the property to the NCAA for $1 a year.

It proved to be the richest aspect of the bid. NCAA financial statements show that the $1-a-year lease, which covers the original property as well as a three-acre expansion in 2013, represents a contribution that already has accrued to well more than $50 million and is growing every year.
The lease between the NCAA and the White River State Park Commission was extended by 50 years in 2010, with three further 10-year options. Rent remains $1 for the life of that agreement. In exchange, the NCAA has helped raise Indianapolis’ national profile.

Along with Sandusky and Delany , Emmert can rot when his time comes .

 

[Bob78]

"I look at all these challenges and complexities and I'm going to miss that," Emmert told ESPN.

He missed those challenges and complexities throughout his entire tenure... by never taking a shot at the vast majority of them.
As Wayne Gretzky said (more or less), 'you miss 100% of the shots you don't take'.

Good riddance to Emmert and his clueless, no-substance, lack of leadership.

I believe that his directing the NCAA to wade into the PSU situation hurt the NCAA. Many at the time stated that the Sandusky situation was a criminal situation and conferred no advantage to PSU football. But he wanted to be the big shot and the PSU leadership played along. If our leadership and said this is no business of the NCAA and let the state courts handle the situation we and the NCAA would have been much better served. As a result of his getting the NCAA involved and the fallout that ensured other institutions saw the best way to handle charges was to stonewall the NCAA and not oooperate. As a result we had situations at several universities that did give advantage to teams and nothing was done by the NCAA. So his involving the NCAA in the Sandusky affair in the long run hurt the ability of the NCAA to enforce rules that did matter.

 

[Bob78]

Btw, ESPNU Radio Sirius 84 was just destroying Emmert and his lack of leadership in their last segment. Neuheisel tried to be diplomatic, but ran out of nice ways to say what everyone is thinking about Emmert.
They were saying what we have been saying in this thread and for many years.

Emmert and the NCAA was under long-time fire for lack of effectiveness. Once he saw that PSU itself lacked true leadership and foresight wrt Sandusky, it was low-hanging fruit for him/them. It was easy for the outside world of leadership how inept PSU was during that time, and how shallow and flimsy Emmert and the NCAA was in adding fuel to the fire.

It became a textbook example of how not to handle a crisis that NCAA schools used to tell the NCAA to go away whenever any mini-crisis came calling.

I guess this is as close to an apology as we will ever get.

Personally, I have no mixed emotions about his departure. I see I'm not the only one.

P.S. His flunky assistant, Ray, rivaled him in the a##hole department.

Digging into the past of NCAA President Mark Emmert

Did NCAA President Mark Emmert have anything to hide in previous jobs at UConn and LSU?

eu.usatoday.com

“INDIANAPOLIS – Six years after Mark Emmert left his job at the University of Connecticut, the governor of Connecticut ordered an investigation into a massive construction project on campus that had been ravaged by scandal, including more than $100 million lost because of mismanagement.

To find out where things went wrong, the investigators looked at old papers of Emmert, who once supervised the project as UConn's chancellor. They soon found a bombshell.

Memos from 1998-99 showed that Emmert and two other top UConn officials knew about the construction project's big problems then, but failed to disclose them to the school's board of trustees or the state legislature.

The other two officials ultimately resigned after being placed on leave. The third — Emmert — went on to become president of the NCAA.

"There is absolutely no question that he was briefed on the magnitude of the problem three years into it," Jonathan Pelto, who co-chaired the investigation for Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell, said of the findings. "He was in a position to blow the whistle and didn't."

Gov. Rell called the fiasco "an astounding failure of oversight and management."”

A >$100 MM misunderstanding.

Of course, the writer gets it wrong with Penn State.

EDIT: I didn’t realize at first that the article was from 2013.

probably right - now the issues are massive. Essentially does the NCAA have any role to even exist becomes the question. The new guy could be a great hire, but could anyone get this fixed? People seem to be asking for a CFB leader - assuming NCAA cannot do it. Things are moving so fast, and people talk about not being able to put the toothpaste back in the tube, but the new leader may have to do that, if the NCAA is going to exist. IF the NCAA MBB tournament gets taken from them, I don't think they even have the funding to continue.

odds of NCAA survival???? how long do they have to live?

Precisely. NCAA was losing credibility when the Sandusky situation arose. Emmert saw this as the perfect opportunity to pile on and be viewed as being relevant and capable of sectioning schools. The problem was the NCAA had no authority to sanction for criminal conduct and he admitted as much when he said the NCAA had permitted him to go outside the rules to impose the sanctions. The only reason the sanctions were imposed is because he had the perfect foul in the limp you know what BOT and administration who were ecstatic that they could consent to the sanctions and cover their respective backsides by making Paterno their scapegoat. This all blew up when the sanctions were challenged in court and Emmett and the NCAA folded like a cheap suit.

having a President who was a sociology prof does not normally provide the fighter, and the BOT were alarmingly bending over. we needed a John Wayne type at President. I am sure those of you living in SC or working at PSU probably know a lot more.

UNC (who was as guilty as heck) fought the NCAA legally and somehow escaped. IF their behavior escaped, PSU should have had not trouble fighting and winning v NCAA.
