WASHINGTON _ The NCAA needs Congress' help. And fast.
That's the message NCAA President Mark Emmert delivered Tuesday at two stops in Washington, D.C., where he was seeking federal intervention as states move to allow college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness.
"We need your help right now. I think the debate or the discussion is well past the ability of a group of states to resolve it," Emmert said he told Sens. Mitt Romney and Chris Murphy during an earlier meeting Tuesday.
