This whole charade is coming to an end.'&#8221;</em> does not make much sense to me.</p>
<p>Besides, if they really want to end the charade &#8212; I know, but work with me here &#8212; they don&#8217;t have to leave the NCAA to do it.  They&#8217;ve pushed the organization when they&#8217;ve wanted to before.  Mark Emmert still has value as a front man; it&#8217;s why he gets paid the big bucks.</p>
<p>You guys see something I don&#8217;t here?</p>
