Without getting into politics, there's no way Trymp has authority to order this. He might as well be saying: "I direct pharmacy benefit managers to stop gauging the general public" or "I order Delta Airlines to change economy class seat pitch."

Apparently neither John Donahue nor Condoleezza Rice, both of whom attended the roundtable discussion, mentioned his lack of authority on the matter.  Oops.

Just because they didn't say anything doesn't make triangle wrong.

The Constitution is crystal clear on presidential authority.  The NCAA is not a government agency.  End of discussion. 

Also, Condi spent her entire career in government aiding and abetting war crimes.  Who cares what she thinks.

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with triangle in the least. Just noting that the two Stanford reps in the room didn't state the obvious. Or, if they did, it didn't make a difference.
