INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA President Mark Emmert says transparency is critical to the future of the NCAA, though he doesn’t yet know the best way to accomplish that goal.
Emmert, four months into his tenure as president, spoke to a meeting of Associated Press sports editors on Saturday night on the campus of IUPUI.
He says he considers better understanding by the media and public about how the NCAA deals with rules infractions and enforcement an important issue facing the organization.
Emmert is the former University of Washington President who became the NCAA’s fifth president last October. He told the group he wanted the NCAA and media to work together “so that we can raise the level of understanding on our side and on your side about what these process are and what they aren’t.”
