Got this from the main board which focused on Emmert's statement:
Emmert retorted that the proposals were vetted for months by the NCAA’s membership committee with opposition from only Rice University, “who I don’t believe is a mainstream D1 school,” Emmert wrote.

I was struck by the Big 10, particularly Urban Meyer's, reaction to the final proposal:
“that there are already teams that have made plans to have separate scouting depts. ”
This is EXACTLY what Alabama and, to a lesser degree Auburn, did. They gave non-coaching jobs to a truckload of southeastern region high school coaches whose sole purpose was to evaluate and recruit. So the Big 10 stands up for the integrity of college football? I imagine, if this had passed, scouting depts would have been the norm for P5 schools. That was a terrible idea and should never have been proposed.
