It is possible Emmert's decision to step down may have nothing to do

with his job performance. If he wasn't performing up to the members' standards, then he wouldn't be able to finish out the current term which ends on June 30, 2023. Given that he is currently 69 (turning 70 in December), it is likely he is retiring at the end of the current term. It is likely the media chose those words intentionally to generate clicks/rates because they either don't like him, don't what is happening with the NCAA, or he is an easy punching bag because he is the current face of the "NCAA."

The irony in all this is that it is the schools that created this mess in the first place. However, the media doesn't want to acknowledge that because it is a lot easier to point the finger at 1 person than an entire group. Plus, it doesn't make good business sense to throw the schools underneath the bus since the media has to work with them in order to do their jobs.

I think the 12 team playoff getting voting down probably hurt him. ** -- Stech 04/27/2022 10:22AM

WOW!!! He had a four year extension about a year ago, I’m stunned! -- Stech 04/27/2022 3:12PM

Well, no future for him, or no future for the NCAA???? -- Mercury 04/26/2022 9:12PM

Agreed, but he received a unanimous 4 yr extension just a year ago. (LINK) -- Stech 04/27/2022 10:20AM

Goldendomer's article answers it somewhat with the linked article above.** -- Stech 04/27/2022 3:11PM

If the transition isn't complete by June 30, 2023, then I guess -- VTHokie2000 04/27/2022 3:12PM
