NCAA President Mark Emmert, Ph.D. was named president of the organization in April 2011, and in his short tenure, he has seen many highs and lows within the membership. President Emmert stopped by ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., studios on Tuesday, March 13, for a quick carwash through Mike & Mike In the Morning, SportsCenter and Outside the Lines to name a few. Emmert was asked questions on various topics during his short visit including enforcement rules, conference realignment and the hot button topic of play-for-pay and student-athlete well-fare.
In the video above, ESPN Front Row took a few minutes with President Emmert to discuss the upcoming NCAA Division Women’s Basketball Championship – which airs across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 and ESPN FULL COURT – beginning Saturday, March 17 and concludes at the NCAA National Championship game Tuesday, April 3 in Denver.
