Wow when can we get rid of this clown?
Mark Emmert will continue to be the face of the NCAA.
The college sports governing body announced Thursday night that Emmert's contract had been extended through 2025. Emmert has been the NCAA's president since 2010 and the man at the forefront of the defense of the NCAA's outdated amateurism model.
Emmert's tenure as NCAA president hasn't been a smooth or popular one. And he's cost it a lot of money. Emmert infamously extended the NCAA's NCAA tournament television contract in 2016 while there were still eight years left on the deal. As Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel noted in March, the decision likely cost the NCAA and its member schools over $3 billion. The NCAA basketball tournaments are the main source of revenue for the NCAA and its schools.
