This afternoon ESPN posted an AP story with Mark Emmert. He addressed the above topics and more. Among other things:
Emmert said transfer rules that allow coaches to dictate a player's future can make college sports look like pro sports to fans.
"My biggest concern though, frankly, isn't the optics of it but whether it's fair or not to the young men and young women," he said. "What's the rationale for constraining someone to move from school to school?"
Forty percent of students who play men's Division I basketball transfer at some point during their careers, according to NCAA data.
The rules for transferring are varied and come from a variety of governing bodies.
