Well, at least until the next court filing:
“The NCAA denies that it has a legal duty to protect student-athletes,” the court filing stated, which was obtained by The Washington Times. “But [the NCAA] admits that it was ‘founded to protect young people from the dangerous and exploitative athletic practices of the time.’”
Honestly, I don’t know how Mark Emmert keeps a straight face some days.

My mother in law would had a word for that kind of NCAA double talk… schmegegge!
NCAA- Like bedbugs on a 1000 dollar mattress. It looks worthy and comfortable when you climb in but in the morning you discover they have somehow managed to suck the blood out of you.

Nah that video doesn’t work. In that example, he realizes what he has become. The NCAA has a genuine issue with believing their own bullshit because they can’t see through the fog of money and power.

How dare you, Sir? Mark has circled the wagon. You should know very well that he does not dig ad hominem attacks on his self-awareness and/or lack thereof from you, Jay or any of the other haterz

I’m sure they’ll at least take a moment of silence for the young man during the annual NCAA executive forum in whatever exotic resort its being held at this year.

That’s right Aus but there’s no time for silence in beautiful San Diego north of Imperial Beach and south of La Jolla on January 15-18, 2014,where the glorious sun-drenched venues will be The Hilton San Diego Bayfront and San Diego Marriott Marquis & Marina which will serve as the headquarter hotels for the 2014 NCAA Convention meeting space. In addition, the Omni San Diego Hotel and Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter will provide sleeping rooms for Convention attendees.

Lord, save us all from people claiming to keep us from being “exploited” by our own decisions. That quote is so America 2013.
How can you claim a regulatory authority over a player’s economic liberty in this area but refuse the corresponding legal authority / responsibility that is tied to it, especially in a case in which you were a partner with an interest?!? A little late to selectively divest yourself of power (power you demanded via a monopoly over kids entering this industry so coercive it may as well be a gun).
