Mark Emmert announces NCAA to ‘exit’ selling player jerseys, school related apparel - Yardbarker -Behold, ladies and gentlemen, the true power of social media in all of its glory. ESPN analyst and noted anti-NCAA crusader Jay Bilas spent his Tuesday afternoon embarrassing the governing body of intercollegiate sports. What he did was simple: He instructed fans to go to the NCAA’s online shop and type in a star football player. The screencap above is for Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel. The NCAA is not supposed to be directly profiting off the names of their student-athletes, but obviously an Aggies No. 2 jersey with the word “Football” on the back was meant for Johnny Football. - In a matter of hours, the actual Search Bar on the site was taken down and, as the above screen shows, the shirt was discontinued.
