  1. Bunch of woke types, E probably wanted to keep the “portal” forever and ruin college basketball. When the Women’s B1G tournament was going on, no press reported about, IBJ didn’t, afternoon radio nothing about scores, who’s out who’s in. 🤔

  2. NIL….transfer portal…..coaches highest paid public employees in a given state and their compensation even exceeding most corporate executive positions…..schedules dictated by TV contracts……Power 5 conferences becoming the tail wagging the dog……I agree with Larry P. that it’s a thankless job at an organization that has become toothless and can no longer herd the cows on the open range. Unfortunately, the NCAA and its governance of amateur athletics is from a bygone era as amateurs no longer exist….at least at the D1 level. I don’t have the answers, but the NCAA must reinvent themselves by redefining its mission to remain a relevant and valued organization to collegiate athletics. Without the NCAA or a comparable governing body, the inmates will be running the asylum…..

  3. Change was needed; however, the next guy needs to have pair. Try to make the best and most intelligent decisions but don’t try to have everyone like you. Don’t deny the basic rules of real science and not try to re-write it or it will be the end of college athletics.

  4. No surprise! While the job is well paid, the question is who really runs the show. Good governance says that the board of directors set goals and objectives and passes along to management to meet those objectives. Then management is held accountable for meeting those objectives.
    It sounds like the board (made up of presidents with personal interests) kept changing the game with no real objectives. In this case, almost no one wins.
    Amateurism is at stake now. Likewise, the future of all of college sports is truly up in the air!

  5. Div III, Div II… run by NCAA. Div I … different rules, different organization Either ADs run it, conference chiefs run it. School Presidents have abdicated their leadership roles… national overarching college sports corp?

  6. Joseph F nailed it I think. Nothing lasts forever and political correctness and wokeism have ruined many other organizations and the NCAA might be going the way of the world in the near future. It is all about the $$ and we know that greed kills.

  7. Who made up the word “woke”, why do conservatives throw it around all the time, and what, exactly, does it have to do with the NCAA president stepping down? Weird.
