NCAA president Charlie Baker issued a statement to Sports Illustrated on Monday emphasizing his concerns with the recent realignment moves within college athletics, asking for major-college leaders to work together in areas that "impact student-athlete well-being and competitive equity issues."
“I share concerns about the impact that the recent spate of conference realignment activities will have on student-athletes’ well-being," Baker said in the statement. "The recent conference moves highlight what I found during my review of the issues facing the NCAA – the growing gap between well-resourced Division I schools and the rest of the division is highly disruptive for all of DI and college sports overall. I believe DI university and college presidents, commissioners and the NCAA should work together to explore ways to address the impact this growing gap is having on student-athlete well-being and the competitive equity issues across the division.”

Yeah, where the fuck was this guy when Larry Scott was burning the conference to the ground?

TBF, Larry Scott's incompetence and refusal to expand to add Texas, OU, OKSt, and TTech allowed us to fall up into the B1G as a resultFenderbender123 said:Yeah, where the fuck was this guy when Larry Scott was burning the conference to the ground?
It's like we finally Sark'd and failed up for once -
Did the Pac12 network ever have a good match up in football?
I think USC vs the Beav last year was the best game ever shown live on Larry Scott’s innovative TV network. -
You have no idea the damage Mark Emmert did to the program

With a 10 game B1G schedule there should be enough good games for the Big 10 Network to show teams other than Maryland and Rutgers
And I can watch rather easily
With the expanded playoffs no reason to not play tough non con games. Got to give TV what they want
There will be breathers in league play like Purdue
I kid -
This guy just woke up and realized his job was irrelevant and this statement is all he could do.

I was thinking the same thing. Think of the power wielded by the NCAA when they were destroying SMU in the late 80's, and contrast that with now. Nobody even consults them anymore. The TV Networks run CFB and nobody even puts on a charade that they don't. the NCAA is a complete afterthought in everything now. Totally irrelevant.LawDawg1 said:This guy just woke up and realized his job was irrelevant and this statement is all he could do.

I legit had no idea who is the president of the NCAA. I guess that pretty much sums it up.
