because the colleges don't pay the athletes. the rest of them who just have to give up and become division two or three. >> that's a very good point and i don't disagree with a lot of what you said. it's happening now. the big are getting big an the ones in the middle get lost in the shuffle and then you can't compete for various reasons so you have to sell what you have. and the winning and graduating students are a priority as enter else. you talk about revenue strain from softball alone is the highest view of women cease sports. you wonder what people are going to watch. going into the playoffs, that's the biggest view in female sports. having said that, commercial opportunity and revenue opportunity, people are going to get getter and people will watch. does that mean all sports will? not if they don't watch. if they watch it, they will get bigger. >> it's talk about the money suggested by the ncaa and how that will affect all this. >> they are suggesting $2,000. the ncpa want four or five to cover costs that a full scholarsh

because one of the seven ncaa principles is student athletes' well-being. t taking care of your students well enough by letting this guy continue to coach? >> yeah, the ncaa tends not to get involved in affairs like this. i don't see how anyone sees this tape and says it's not a case of student athletes getting abused. the other irony, if one of the students or these athletes said, enough is enough, i don't need to subject myself to this, i'm going to transfer, they would have had to sit out for a year as a penalty. you can treat your players like this and have a three-day suspension and then have your boss assert that this was adequate, it's pretty ludicrous and i think that the fallout from this is just againing. i can't imagine that it's very tough to see how the coach is going to survive this and i fram frankly think that the athletic director is at jeopardy as well. >> he had a winning basketball program, rutgers doesn't. i don't know what that says but i want your thoughts on this. >> you're right. bobby knight has a national title and that probably wo

did you ever anticipate that something in the athletic department -- >> obviously athletics, the intercollegiate to me as provost. athletics are not quite the same as the program here. one of the things that i found the most heartening when i came here was to see the level of commitment to academics that our athletics program has and to see the amount of time that our student athletes spend to realize that our football players practice in the morning, so that they can have the afternoon to study and go to classes. that was very, very heartening to me. obviously i've been in this business for a long time. and i follow higher education. and i've been watching what happened at penn state. there was no question in my mind. that big-time d-1 athletics has its risks. was i expecting to see them so quickly? no. frankly. but that doesn't diminish my responsibility for the need for the university to move quickly. and to underscore and continue to focus on the integrity of our academic programs, and our athletic programs.

tell us about the organization which you founded which grows out of your exrience as an athlete in theocker rooms and seeing a culture that made you uncomfortable. >> sure. i founded athlete ally to get more straight athletes to speak out against homophobia in sports. i started wrestling since i was 6 years old, but one thing that remains true in locker room after locker room, sometimes coach after coach, i would hear my peers use that homophobic and derogatory sexist language to isolate and segregate those perceived to be less masculine. and so, you know, i really took an issue with that as someone who has friends that came out and, you know, realizing that diversity is beneficial to athletic success and that we as an athletic community will be better the more diverse we are, the more talents we can draw on and that's only going to happen when we can have openly proud lgbt athletes. >> i don't spend a lot of time in nba locker rooms and you have, is the culture in those places -- i know that what culture is, i know what people dropping an "f" word against someone or a slur on a pick-u

if the evidence showed after he had issues with rice, then terminated, and then went to the athletic ctor saying anyone notice what rice did with the players? that is the sequence of events, then the university has done nothing wrong, no retaliation. he was not punished for coming forward. he was terminated because he had issues with rice, apparently, what so far that we know, he has said to rice, i want to see my son's basketball camp, rice said, no, you can't go. he went when, and when he came back, he was terminated. as long as the facts are such that it was -- he didn't complain after he was terminated, there's no issue with the university, and, by the way, there might be a lot of credibility to the time line i suggested, and that's because if mor dock claims all these abuses took place, why not come in 2010 when he started with rutgers? he should have come forward then if the abuses were as outrageous as he claims, that the video shows it. he didn't come until he was terminated? problems there for him. charles: certainly is. kelly, it's great that this whole thing is exposed, but
