NCAA President Discusses Ways to Curb Violence: INDIANAPOLIS — Mark Emmert is taking a look at what the NCAA can do to help prevent violence against women.
Two representatives from the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes said they spent nearly 90 minutes meeting with the NCAA's new president Wednesday, imploring him to send a strong message to the nation's college athletes that violent acts would not be tolerated.
'I'm encouraged by it,' Kathy Redmond, president and founder of the group, said after the meeting. 'I told him we would be in contact and we would love to help him build a program around this topic.'
