Some NCAA schools have had football players signing COVID-19 waivers this summer. The man who runs the NCAA doesn’t like it.
In testifying before a Senate committee on Wednesday, NCAA President Mark Emmert made it clear that he opposes the practice of student-athletes releasing rights regarding the coronavirus.
“I am categorically opposed to it, I think it is inappropriate for schools,” Emmert said, via Jane McManus on Twitter.
So why does the NCAA, which has so many rules that its rules have rules, not do something about it? Apparently, the NCAA cannot prevent it from happening.
The NCAA also cannot prevent football from happening, if schools insist on continuing even at the current hot spots of COVID-19. Emmert said the NCAA has no jurisdiction over the regular season game or Power Five conferences.
And so basically the NCAA has a role in preventing soccer players from getting fair value for their skills, abilities, and sacrifices, but the NCAA has no role in keeping soccer players safe.
If the NCAA is not going to do it, then the federal government should, by creating a supervisory agency that can and will do what the NCAA cannot and will not do.
