Talk:Mark Emmert

Untitled section
There is a user who is attempting to censor information that Mark Emmert is involved in legal proceedings. This information is pertinent to his position as president of the NCAA, and likewise pertinent to the already-existing information regarding the Jerry Sandusky scandal. This information belongs on the page. As I have discovered court documents cannot be used to cite, I am willing to change those sources to press releases. But there were other issues brought up by I am One of Many, including:
 * drawing conclusions;
 * --> If someone provides me with a conclusion drawn, I will revise it.


 * being biased.
 * being irrelevant.
 * --> The conversation about the scandal was already started on the page. What I added is additional information that has come to light through time, and it is highly relevant.

My proposed changes can be viewed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Emmert&oldid=609560316 Anyone care to weigh in? 97.123.232.199 (talk) 20:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * See my talk page, I have listed some better sources for introducing this material and some suggestions. I am One of Many (talk) 21:19, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Unsourced material and controversy section
I removed some unsourced material. There is still quite a bit of material without cites. I also removed the controversy section title. --Malerooster (talk) 02:38, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

The deposition PDF does not support a claim that Emmert directed edition of Wikipedia, and, in fact, suggests almost all such fact edits were made by underlings without being told to make them. Collect (talk) 18:27, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Did the NCAA press office write this article?
There are four citation needed tags in this section. It's eight paragraphs long! It needs way more citations.

There's only one article cited in the entire NCAA section. It was critical of Emmert, and has had text inserted after the citation was added that cast doubt on the quality of the reporting in the cited article, calling the cited article "misleading." (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Emmert&diff=prev&oldid=880111494)

It's blatently hagiographic and full of unsubstantiated, wishy-washy claims: efficiency and effectiveness was improved, he steadfastly advocated for student-athletes, he significantly increased support, rules have significantly improved, he called for swift and decisive action, a dramatic improvement in the basketball environment,

It's also making claims that must be backed by citations, for example it claims that his efforts led to a reduction in sexual assaults.
