CHANGE FROM 2012: -8

The NCAA’s president has declared 2014 as a year of change, and Emmert is going to be right in the middle of it. The NCAA is re-evaluating its governance structure, which means the way it makes decisions through its executive committee and Division I board of directors.

How Emmert handles that will be watched and scrutinized closely.
