It was prominent and polarizing enough that NCAA president Mark Emmert, speaking at the governing body's annual convention Thursday, called for new rules ensuring that parents can't "sell the athletic services" of their children.
"If you look at the Newton case, a lot of people came away from that, because it's a complicated case, saying, 'Gosh, it's OK for a father to solicit money for the services for his son or daughter?' " Emmert told reporters afterward. "The answer to that is no, it isn't. But we don't have a rule that makes that clear."

Come on Mark, it is called cheating.

And my understanding is that they have no intention of creating one.
Emmert is a spin doctor and major prick.

i've been a rabid college football fan for over 30 years. i've had season tickets for 11 years.
this situation is seriously making me consider giving up college football. if the ncaa isn't going to have rules and enforce them, what's the point. every season is going to be a sham like this one.
(even if i do give it up, i'm hanging on to the season tickets)

Good ole ambiguity, huh ? You could poll the native tribes in the Brazilian Rainforest and get a majority that know what Cecil Newton did is against NCAA regs. One hell of a deflection if you ask me.

USC and the Bush family are wondering about this.

Complete B.S. The NCAA has the power and flexibility to interpret and apply the spirit of the rules. It as abundantly clear that a founding premise of the NCAA rules, No Solicitation, was violated. For whatever reason they did not have the balls to enforce the rules.

You LSU folks made Emmert out to be a hard arse who would do the right thing at the NCAA.
I'm disappointed.
