NCAA board hoping to make quick changes
Mark Emmert and the NCAA's board of directors are hoping to move quickly in changing college sports.
The agenda for Thursday's meeting in Indianapolis is full of significant votes -- postseason bans for poor classroom performance, adding $2,000 to scholarships, creating multi-year scholarships and changes to summer basketball recruiting.
The board will also be asked to support a broad outline to shrink the massive rulebook and perhaps unlock the text messaging ban.
Even Emmert acknowledges it may still take some fine-tuning to get everything right.
But in the midst of trying to clean up college sports, Emmert insists this isn't a time for delay.
