That these refuses benefit College Athletes and their student bodies at large. But i think we have to consider whether the lure of such riches could corrupt the basic mission of Athletic Programs. Winning teams get higher payouts than losing teams which creates a strong incentive to win. An incentive which land grant public universities and others are more than happy to follow and win at any cost. Much of the money is often funneled right back into the sports programs in the form of multimilliondollar coaching facilities and state of the art facilities many of it paid for by the taxpayerses to perpetuate the cycle of winning. I think somewhere in my reading here, about 48 million of all the 900 million that ncaa gets from, you know, their broadcasting, march madness and all the rest of it, a very small portion goes specifically to academics. But even thats hard to figure. Because nobody has the figures. Mr. Emmert works for them. They make the decisions. He carries out what they want.
Sports games and the cutthroat competition and how people were treated. So i think what youre hearing up here today is the hope that these are deliverables, these are things that can happen, when you talk about changing the Sexual Assault policy, making sure the players have the health care insurance, making sure thif the time to do the internships. They arent crazy hard things to do. That we have another hearing, whether its six months from now or a year from now to check up on whats happening with these things whether theyre at the high school level. I know that senator tom udahl cosponsored his bill. I know theres a lawsuit thats going on, just your opinion of it, but if you could talk about whats being done. I think its a critical issue and most heavily identified. It occurs in virtually every sport. First of all, as i had mentioned in my opening comments, we created when i first came into the office, i was a business sprited to find there wasnt a chief medical officer, so when we
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
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
