In the wake of news last fall that the FBI was investigating corruption in college basketball, NCAA President Mark Emmert spoke of “decisive action.” He said it was not the time for “half-measures or incremental change.”
Emmert formed what was called a Commission on College Basketball and installed former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as its chair. The commission’s report announced Wednesday sounded more like half-measures than decisive action to David Ridpath, the president of The Drake Group, which lobbies for reforms in college athletics.
“I heard some good things today,” said Ridpath, a professor of sports management at Ohio University.
