NCAA in perfect position to flex

[Reason2succeed]

I'm sure no one noticed late on Monday the ESPN ticker announced that NCAA president Mark Emmert had his contract extended to 2020 with an option for 2021.

I'm sure you're asking "Who cares? What does that have to do with anything."

Well, for our unfriendly neighbors up north that means that Mr. Emmert has a fresh new contract that makes him virtually untouchable unless the NCAA wants to eat his contract whole. I don't know what his future aspirations are but if you want to pay me the ungodly amount that I'm sure he's getting paid to sit on a beach and do nothing I would gladly oblige. However, that's not how things usually work. Methinks that he's probably going to flex his muscles and use the new, more strict NCAA rules for the first time. I hear that UNC has some outstanding issues that need to receive punishment and then it will be OM turn to receive their just desserts. Once again, if he doesn't reign in rouge programs now then the appearance of amateur athletic is about to take a severe pounding from other programs that decide to blatantly disregard rules.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Don't forget that OM is accused of both inappropriate recruiting inducements AND academic dishonesty. He may be able to turn a blind eye to money but the professors and deans will burn him on a stake if he lets teams make an open mockery of academia.
