NCAA president Mark Emmert appears to be aware of the fact that the sport of college basketball — and the NCAA as a whole — is in dire need of reform.
Emmert appeared on CBS Sports’s pregame show on Saturday and, in light of various reports of wrongdoing on the part of numerous schools, admitted that the system badly needs to be looked at.
One mildly encouraging comment from Mark Emmert on CBS. Emmert on if college basketball players should be allowed to have agents: "It makes perfect sense to me that it ought to be very different than it is right now."

Of course, this is the easy part to agree on. Figuring out what the necessary reforms are is where it gets difficult. Whether college athletes get paid, for instance, is a controversial topic with many diverse opinions. The only thing we know is that the issues in college athletics are widespread, and there is no easy fix.
