About whether or not things are made public. I feel for you, because part of me think that is youre captured by those you are supposed to regulate, but then youre supposed to regulate those you are captured by. I could tell whether youre in charge or whether youre a minute a minion to them. The notion that you will say ill go after this im you know, i dont sense that you feel like you have any control over the situation, and if you have no control, if youre merely a monetary passthrough, why should you even exist . Well, i think the the reality is that while the issue we are talking about here i dont have a vote on, and i dont get to set those policies, i can certainly set the tone on it, and i can certainly be someone who voices a very loud opinion and says this is not right, this is inappropriate, these are the conflicts that exist when you have a policy and a practice like this on on your campus. When i first took the job, the very first summit i held in indianapolis was a summit on

Host well, with the announcement this week that the Washington Post has been sold to jeff bethos, we thought wed take this opportunity to look at changes in the newsp
To this thing. I thought it was very interesting in another committee that i have the privilege of chairing, we did a hearing on concussions, and including professional athletes they would not recommend to their children that they play football. So times are changing. The ncaa has got to get with the times. So whatever this Committee Hearing has done to enible you as a reformer to get those schools the votes that you need to do a lot of these things that were talking about, the Family Travel why should they have to sneak around in the shadows in order to get money to be able to buy a ticket to come to the game and where to stay in a hotel and so forth . I mean, it just it defies common sense. Mr. Rolle, you want to make any final comment . Sure. One thing that id like to say is that when you think about the collarship discussion, a lot of players i was on teams with, it was kind of like it was us versus them. We didnt feel like the ncaa was protecting our best interests, was looking ou

I saw it often. That is the exact example that we need to use. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you, senator nelson. I apologize. You could have run for the senate ten years ago. I dont want to be disrespectful to senator blumenthal who i think was here before me earlier. No . I will ask m
Question, dr. Emert of the 65. I was encouraged by your response to the chairmans question relative to their interest in addressing these issues. Its one thing to say theyre willing to do it, its another thing to do it. We wish you success but we understand that youre the proposal, youre the initiator, but theyre the decision makers. So i hope mr. Chairman over some period of time here, hopefully relatively soon, we can get a positive result from that effort. I think thats where the these major issues fall. But dr. Emmerit. Could you give us one more shot , but also to the root of the solution, and that is the top 65 which are the revenue generators. And we dont want to jeopardizes those that are not, and put them in a position where they wont be able to fulfill the level 9 supports that gists so many people the yes mr. Chairman and senator coats, i think youre asking two of the most important questions. The first is a recognition that 100 or so years ago when the ncaa was created, it
