NCAA president Mark Emmert: No sports without students on campus

As questions continue to swirl about the prospects of college sports being played in the fall amid the coronavirus pandemic, NCAA president Mark Emmert addressed an array of issues in an interview posted on NCAA social channels Friday night.

One of the main points Emmert made is that he does not envision a scenario where football or other sports can take place if students cannot return to their respective campuses.

“All of the Division I commissioners and every president that I’ve talked to is in clear agreement: If you don’t have students on campus, you don’t have student-athletes on campus,” Emmert said.
