A series of tweets by Jay Bilas exposed the some underbelly of the NCAA. President Mark Emmert said during a conference call on Thursday that its online store would no longer sell jerseys associated with players.
Emmert on NCAA selling player merch: "We recognize why that could be seen as hypocritical. … We're going to exit that business immediately."

Emmert: "We haven't determined what to do [entirely] w/ that site. No compelling reason why [we] should be reselling jerseys from [schools]"

Emmert asked how much $$ NCAA made off player-related merch: "I don't have an answer for that."
