NCAA could allow individual conferences a choice...

PrintInteresting news from the sham that is the NCAA Presidents retreat...(sham because Larry Scott, Jim Delaney and USC president Max Nikias weren't invited)
The NCAA could soon allow individual conferences to decide for themselves whether they want to pay athletes more and award them longer scholarship terms.
Demand for such proposals came out of the first day of an NCAA presidential retreat on reform Tuesday. NCAA chief Mark Emmert said the group is operating with "an extreme sense of urgency" and would like to vote on new rule proposals as early as October and no later than January.
Window dressing.
With an already bloated and arcane rule book, I can't wait to see the rules governing this...
Here are a couple of other interesting NCAA links...

Ms. Jo Potuto is there. . . .
. . . .I read her name listed on the the list of attendees.
It’s no wonder, she was the point person in the Congressional hearings regarding the lack of rules/amendment changes and recommendations as put forth in the Knight Commission back a few years ago. She was also on the committee that hammered USC- she was installed at the last minute and basically rubber-stamped the sanctions. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if she was the chief author.
The beat downs we put on Nebraska must’ve really pinched her camel-toe.
I want her exposed and I want the scandalous underside of NCAA cronyism & corruption to see the light of day in a US court.
I’m all for change, the NCAA has fucked up so much in the past year with our harsh sanctions and leniency shown towards Auburn & tOSU so far- I still can’t believe the NCAA didn’t deal with the Tattoo 5 severely in Nov. 2010. It’s only because Jim Tressel lied to them did they realize the stupidity of their lenience in allowing the SAME PLAYERS who caused tOSU to vacate all their wins, ARE THE VERY SAME PLAYERS that helped them to win a post season BCS bowl game?
HOW RETARDED IS THAT?
And NOW Mark Emmert wants to proclaim that the “playing field of D-1 athletics is uneven” and that “different programs have largely different budgets, therefore cost of attendance make it difficult for ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach is unfair”?
?
Dude, Mr. Emmert- the whole very idea of the “amateur-model” is a myth. When are you going to get around to that realization?
The NCAA has already lost basketball, the only reason they’re going for a new desperate last-ditch effort for reform is so that they don’t lose the very profitable business revenues generated by football. At this end, the member schools would secede. They know it. Once conference commissioners split over football and player eligibility- basketball will follow. NCAA owns basketball, and they would be an island unto themselves after that.
The NCAA doesn’t want itself to be relegated to governing Division II athletics. Hence, reform agenda without Slive, Delany, & Scott.
It’s Emmert’s idea, . . . . . .yeah, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Good one, Mark. (you fucking knucklehead)
Bix, I'm confused...
“The NCAA has already lost basketball” …………. “NCAA owns basketball” which one is it?
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

I think both make sense
NCAA owns Bball because of the NCAA tournament and march madness. But they’ve already lost Bball by allowing agents contact so early, AAU tourneys, etc, so they have no way of corralling the talent.
At least I think that’s what Bix means. Sorry if i’m putting words in your mouth.
Fight On! Beat everybody but us!
Bingo!
NCAA basketball, as we know it, isn’t amateur in the slightest. I’ve always felt this way, even before Louis Johnson and his allegations against Guillory & Mayo and especially in his allegations of Coach Floyd paying Guillory with a “bag full cash in Beverly Hills”.
Going after Floyd was complete bullshit, but it allowed the NCAA to flank us and take us down on LOIC. And then there’s Derrick Rose at Memphis????
USCLink fully comprehends and has explained my rant.
(hey USCLink, you wanna see some freaking hilarity? Go to prevailandpride dot com. the guy over there puts up some MS Paint cartoons to explain the college football landscape for 2010/2011. i was over at EDSBS and Spencer put up the link. warning: it’s not for the faint of heart and there is some crazy, crazy, stuff he put up. the one for usc is THE MOST TAMEST. he’s actually very very kind to us, considering what he could have put up.)

Yes I have known for years that the ncaa is only attached to everyone except the west coast, they hate us.
Maybe missy will make a wrong turn and get clipped only god knows, but this is all going on why our government heads fuck everything up so it will be hard to get done.
Who--What--Slim Shady----the ncaa is after all the BS they are lying out----and just remember they will rewrite history every seven years after the fact. Tennesse will get off with nothing on the violations, but that really doesn't matter they suck anyway.

WelI hope the ncaa doesn't ignore certain members over others because this will cause a rife and then separation.
This could be the escape the west coast needs from the ncaa and start there own association,I think we could call it the West Coast athletic association.
