The NCAA Board of Governors has voted to extend the contract of President Mark Emmert by two years through 2025. The announcement Tuesday night comes less than a month after the NCAA and Emmert drew sharp criticism for inequities between the women’s and men’s Division I basketball tournaments. Emmert has also been facing scrutiny and outside pressure for the NCAA inability to move forward with proposed reforms to its rules prohibiting athletes from earning money from their names, images and likenesses. Emmert has been NCAA president since November 2010.
