Dr. Mark Emmert & the NCAA

Emmert should step down due to his loss of institutional control  of the NCAA.  The NCAA is a great concept to regulate the amateur status of all athletes at the collegiate level.  However, Emmert has headed up an organization that has become slippery at best itself.  Due to the unethical issues related to the investigative process at the University of Miami involving Mr. Shapiro.
This is the regulatory body not a school.  And, on that basis we need to have Mr. Emmert step down.  At this point big time universities need to get together and revamp a program that works.  Mr. Emmert's program doesn't.  Maybe the NCAA can work again to fit it's goal of ethical collegiate athletics.  In the words of Mike Greenburg from "Mike and Mike" radio show.....it is just "laughable" that this guy is still in charge or, that we should give any credence to his future sanctions on teams.  At what point does the NCAA decide they need a new front man?  Myself and, many others believe that time is now.  "IF" that time is not now then we can not take the NCAA seriously in the future.  We can not take their regulatory status or their sanctions to be of any merit.  Nor should any school for that matter.  Maybe big time programs should think about moving away from the NCAA?   Paul E.
