The NCAA has found a prominent politician to succeed Mark Emmert.
, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker will be the NCAA's next president. Baker's term as governor is up in January and will reportedly take over in March.
Emmert has run the NCAA for the past 12 years and has long been a punching bag for the NCAA’s detractors. Emmert was a staunch defender of the NCAA’s outdated rules regarding amateurism yet also oversaw the governing body’s sudden shift to allow players to make money off their image rights once it was politically untenable for the NCAA to continue to enforce its new rules.
After making its widespread rules changes, the NCAA has looked to Congress for federal legislation to govern how college athletes can make money. So far, Congress has declined to make federal oversight of the NCAA a priority.
