CommonerThe NCAA Board of Governors (made up of various school presidents/commissioners from the three Divisions) announced that Emmert received unanimous support for the extension.
I thought that his days were numbered. He. in large part, was responsible for the power conferences separating themselves from the rest. In 2011, the NCAA Council had agreed to a flat $2,000 scholarship stipend. He had been a strong proponent of the stipend but when some of the schools, particularly the non-football schools started pushing back, he backed down and didn't do anything to fight for the change.
The power conferences, again frustrated by non-football schools, began their eventually successful campaign for autonomy of governance issues.
Emmert was also at the forefront of the EA Sports debacle, the O'Bannion and all the other lawsuits. Much have these troubles would not have occurred if Emmert had followed the proposals from various power conferences on these matters.
