Mark Emmert is a giant dingleberry. They could easily get this done. Let the athletes sell their likeness and impose heavy penalties on the schools for trying to get a competitive advantage by hooking the kids up with money.
The problem is the NCAA has always punished the kids for taking advantage of misdeeds of the schools. It should have always been the other way around. The kids have never had any power over the institutions or the boosters. It has always been the other way around. It is about time it changed, but it appears Mark Emmert is so inept at his job, he is going to let congress burn the whole thing down and it is going to bury the non revenue sports and take those athletes down with him.

I doubt Emmert could carry a tune in a bucket, much less play a fiddle...... :roll: :roll:
