NCAA president Mark Emmert is not the most liked guy in sports.
He's routinely grilled for how the business of college sports operates -- mainly, it's unique ability for squeezing billions of dollars out of unpaid laborers.
So, it was a little bit of a surprise Friday when Emmert was exposed to the warmth of social media and encouraged to answer fan questions.
Emmert appeared on an ESPN radio show, and part of the deal was to do a Twitter chat.
To send the NCAA boss a question, fans were instructed to use the #AskEmmert hashtag.
And, well, it did not go so well. Here's just a sampling of the questions:
#AskEmmert Who would you put on the Mount Rushmore of bumbling idiot presidents of companies, besides yourself?

Hey Mark, do you feel the NCAA is doing enough to help it's athletes get a real education? Wait i don't want to hear lies #AskEmmert

#askemmert how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck profited off of the work of unpaid labor under the guide of amateurism?
