Emmert says he will leave the position no later than June 30, 2023. He will go earlier if a successor is named and ready to take over before that date. The news drew plenty of reactions from the people that cover college sports. Between their own reactions and the reactions they reported hearing from people in the college sports industry, Emmert's exit is largely being celebrated. NCAA president Mark Emmert is retiring. I told my boss I wanted to write, but asked him: "Is it cruel for me to kick him in the a-- on his way out?" And my boss wrote back: "I don't know what else you'd write." Love my bosses.#columncoming — Gregg Doyel (@GreggDoyelStar) April 26, 2022 College athletics to Mark Emmert pic.twitter.com/MH9uldQcuN — Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) April 26, 2022 Sneak peek at Mark Emmert's last day at the NCAA in 2023... pic.twitter.com/UNPLexYlPU — Ryan McGee (@ESPNMcGee) April 26, 2022 Mark Emmert has been blamed for a number of the NCAA's failures. Chief among them was the sloppy way the organization handled name, image and likeness legislation across several states that would allow athletes to profit for the first time. He also saw the NCAA's practice of paying its athletes with educational benefits ruled a violation of antitrust law in a rare 9-0 decision by the US Supreme Court. Plenty of those commenting alluded to Emmert presiding over what could well be the beginning of the end of the organization. "I think that Mark Emmert is making $3 million dollars a year for presiding over the disintegration of the NCAA." Strong take from @DonnaLopiano who worked as an AD for decades and now advocates for reform in college sports. — Paul Finebaum (@finebaum) April 26, 2022 Mark Emmert stepping down from NCAA feels a bit like the captain of the Titanic resigning after he hit the iceberg. What, too soon? — Andrew Perloff (@andrewperloff) April 26, 2022 mark emmert will be remembered as the ncaa president who took a 9-0 Supreme Court loss in which even the most conservative members of the court said "your organization should not exist" — Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) April 26, 2022 A final category of reactions can best be described as questioning "what took so long?". That's good.
