probablyespect, we are a big-time college sport university, but even more so, because we have had such great success with arithmetic steams over the years and it's an ingrained tradition of winning and computing -- competing in four championships and different sports. it's been a culture for many years. hadave all on this campus the myth of dean smith as the master of doing athletic rights, and we all convince ourselves that a scandal of this kind could not happen at unc. mayscandal started in of 2010, and it seemed that it was largely going to be confined to so-called impermissible benefits because some of our star football players were kind of overheard talking about, overheard on twitter that is, talking about benefits that they had been given. the impermissible benefit clause, i suppose, in the ncaa rulebook, it specifies that athletes are not permitted against the impermissible. they are not permitted to accept anything of value, really, related to their status as an athlete. fan, a would be coach is not permitted to give you anything of value the on what is specified in the ncaa

sports. in return their compensation is capped at the cost of attending their college or university. athletes are not even guaranteed to have costs for sports related injuries be covered by their schools and can have their scholarships revoked in the event of a college and career ending injury. the system is deeply unfair, repugnant to the very ideals the colleges so actively espouse and inherently flawed as an economic matter and marred with inconsistencies. only these students are able to monetize their skill by working such as music students who teach budding musicians or math majors who tutor high school students, college athletes receive no renumeration, no compensation, no financial recognition at all. that has to change. we are here to hear from some of the experts and to begin this consideration the kinds of egregious unfairness are multiple. we know well college coaches are paid multimillion dollar salaries outpacing the pay of many corporate executives and almost all the teachers, many of the college coaches rank as the highest paid public employee in 41 out of 50 states. wh

university. i'm talking about what this eans to an athlete to get an education in our array of benefits. why is having a sports team at a university important to the community? >> thank you for the opportunity to reiterate that. iy and recognize that the athletics at the world does not exist anywhere else in the world, it's part of what makes our universities and it's part of what keeps, it attracts students and keeps our alumni engaged. it creates a campus life that cannot be replicated anywhere else.n we talked about how that is today. certainly it creates tremendous benefits for our students and the experience they have. our athletics department is not the university. so we are blessed in that regard but the benefits at the university in the midwest university where we are out of state recruitment at a national state regular basis, do not replace that. >> let me ask a question whether the university would have a broader consequence or understanding.ue so we are a successful basketball program at the university of kansas historically and currently. the concern has been the ability for schools to recruit athl

we have successful football, volleyball money is pumped back into other sports and the university. what's going to happen there? mr. emmert: you're asking one of the most important and complex questions. again the support that we have within the association around finding a better model for n.i.l. is predicated on our ability to make sure that recruitment inequities don't occur. there may well be ways of doing that, but under an unrestricted and unfettered model, you would wind up with those institutions in urban areas having an extraordinary competitive advantage both in terms of garnering sponsorship deals which they would use as part of the recruitment -- recruiting inducements for student athletes to come to those marketplaces. and similarly you could see as chancellor girod said, if there were no guardrails around this model, there could be some severe disadvantages to the olympics sports in particular because the resource that is flow into a big program like your football program at nebraska would no longer be available for programs like your marvelous volleyball program. sen
