When Questioning The NCAA President Goes Wrong

This morning on Mike & Mike, NCAA president Mark Emmert was going to be open to questions about the student athletes unionizing for better treatment from the NCAA brass. Well, let’s just say…it didn’t go so well. Questions had come from all over Twitter as they charged at the NCAA with no remorse. I have taken the liberty of sharing with you the most important questions with the hashtag of #AskEmmert.

#AskEmmert do you want kids to unionize because that might mean you actually have to give kids money for using their likeness

#askemmert shouldnt the president of the non profit NCAA be an unpaid volunteer position? The job isn’t on reward!

@mjslayer

#askemmert Defend the non profit stance of the NCAA when exec salaries and profits are at an all time high.

#AskEmmert How benevolent did you feel when you allowed some of the best student athletes on earth to have seconds at dinner? Did you expect a Nobel?
