WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The American public is losing confidence in the governance of collegiate athletics, NCAA President Mark Emmert said Monday, creating a significant problem for his organization.

Emmert cited data collected by the NCAA, showing that 79 percent of people polled said big schools put money ahead of student-athletes, 69 percent considered those universities more of a problem than the solution and 51 percent said the NCAA is part of the problem.

Such polls are conducted quarterly by the association, according to the NCAA, but the latest information reflects growing public negativity after the uncovering by the FBI of alleged widespread criminal activity in college basketball.
