Bilas has been speaking out against the NCAA for a few years now. His twitter feed is filled with either jokes or ripping the NCAA. He has come out several times saying what happen to Ohio State was a joke

I asked him what his recommendation for the NCAA replacement should be, and his response was pretty short sighted- only seemed to address "major" college sports (fb and BB), and even then didn't figure out what to do with the smaller programs that don't have the resources that OSU/Texas/Florida do.

Everyone hates what is, but few people have come up with ideas for what's better (and realistic).

I think super conferences might help out here. Let the four major super conferences form a governing board (or something) to police themselves and let everyone else continue the joys of dealing with the NCAA or find some other alternative.

Basketball and specifically the tournament would be the most difficult problem to solve in that scenario.

That's the thing. Hating the NCAA and college amateurism has intuitive appeal, but few people have ever considered the alternative. There is A LOT of money being made, but people need to look at where it's going (non-revenue sports). People also need to consider why that money is being made.

With all due respect to the athletes (and I agree that they should be allowed to market themselves like Olympians are allowed to do), the reason people tune into Ohio State football is because it is Ohio State football. If it were the Columbus Glory competing against the Tuscaloosa Hounddogs, no one is watching; no one is paying 70 bucks to go to a game. Even if it's the same athletes.

Yep. Lots of folks like to bitch and moan about all the money football makes, acting like most of it goes into the pockets of the coaching staff and athletic director (which it doesn't). Sure, top-flight coaches like Meyer, Saban, etc., get several million dollars a year, but multi-million-dollar head coaches aren't the norm, and those that are help pull in an exponential amount of revenue which funds programs other than football. The charter and purpose of the NCAA is totally valid...the totally inconsistent manner in which they police and enforce that charter is another matter.

I think there's more of a chance of football coming under more direct control of the NCAA (ala D-1AA and D-2/3) than a full and complete break. Remember, the NCAA is a good old boys network and all of these school Presidents know each other and know those that run the NCAA - there would have to be a complete reversal of leadership in the NCAA - to include a complete outsider with no connections to anyone at the major schools and conferences - for this process to even begin.

The NCAA's Executive Committee has reaffirmed its confidence in the leadership of president Mark Emmert, according to a statement released to ESPN on behalf of Michigan State president Dr. Lou Anna K. Simon, leader of the group.

"On Friday, the Executive Committee unanimously affirmed its confidence in Mark's leadership as president and its support for his ongoing efforts to implement these essential and historic reforms," the statement read, in part.

The NCAA Executive Committee praised some of Emmert's efforts.

"Mark Emmert was hired to lead a major transformation of the NCAA," Simon wrote. "Much has been accomplished without fanfare, such as academic reforms, enhanced fiscal accountability and organizational transparency. The Executive Committee and President Emmert recognize there is much yet to do and that the road to transformational change is often bumpy and occasionally controversial."
