NCAA president Mark Emmert talks about the bribery and corruption case in college basketball
Posted Mar 23, 2018
"There needs to be a professional pathway and a collegiate pathway. If somebody wants to get a college education, then they want to turn pro, great. We've got a wonderful deal for you. But if you want to be a professional ballplayer, go be a professional ballplayer. Great. Congratulations. Trying to shoehorn some of that into the college space has created a lot of this problem."
