LAS VEGAS -- NCAA president Mark Emmert said trust and collegiality within college athletics is suffering after the recent round of conference realignment and other developments within the industry.
Emmert, speaking Wednesday at the Sports Business Journal Learfield Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, said relations between leagues and individuals are "worse today" than at any time during his 11-year tenure. He added that it's a problem for the industry when powerful people are "[criticizing] each other in public and private."
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and others made strong comments earlier this year after Texas and Oklahoma announced they would be joining the SEC.
