if you look back in the '70s, i was on the 1972 olympic team. we had a really tough olympics. a number of members of congress putting builds saying we need a presidential commission to look at this, the ncaa, everybody is fighting, nobody in control. we formed a presidential commission made up of members of congress but they passed a bill. it became the amateur sports act. here's the point. it gave the olympic committee the authority to be in charge. what is happening college sports is that nobody is in charge. a lot of people in charge but nobody is really in charge. so i think that that failure has caused all these problems. what's happening is we're seeing this unwinding of this because it's going to the courts and everything else. we are heading towards this chaos which i think ultimately will ask is how do we fix it. i think that's sooner rather than later spent why is in the ncaa enjoyed? >> because they don't, first of all they don't control football. he of all the conferences that have all their strength. as mark emmert said in front of the senate commerce committee, h
