Hatch supports Emmert

2005051037.jpg
 
If only more NCAA employees had been leaving millions on the table to spend time with their families for important milestones like births and what not.
 
Added Wake Forest president Nathan Hatch, on the prospect of replacing Emmert: "We're not there. He's a very strong leader. He's done good things. I don't think we are there. This is an association, a member organization, not the NBA or the NFL. It represents a lot of different constituencies and putting all that together, making that sausage, is complicated."

I must be the only immature person that laughed at that.

It doesn't matter who is running the NCAA. That's not the problem. The problem is the same thing that has been the problem for at least the last 30 years or so.....roughly coinciding with 1979, when ESPN went on the air the first time and college sports became a big-time media spectacle. Money.

ETA: It's not the NCAA, but this article is Exhibit A in describing what's wrong in sports today, and the NCAA is getting to be just about as bad:

Just quoting this on the off chance he decides to delete it later.
 
College football was all about money a long time before ESPN rolled into town.
 
Anybody that has money should be SHOT IN THE FUCKING FACE!!1!1!
 
Which is greater- the Hatch/Emmert Combo or the Wellman/Buzz Duo. Definitely a battle of the Titans.

yep. no problems until 1979 or so.

the real problem is attempting to pair athletics and academics in one single institution of higher learning, but that is a different discussion for a different day.

Yup, fall of 1974 Wake Forest @ Oklahoma, @ Penn State on back to back weekends for the money just to make budget for all the sports. 63-0 & 55-0 followed by @ MD w/ Randy White 49-0.
