"If the commission is just going to be a rubber stamp, we can quit going to those meetings," Emery said. "I have nothing against athletics. I like going to football games as much as anybody, but it does give you the feeling like 'Hey the athletic guys don't have to go by the rules.'"
He said this situation creates a public perception that the athletic department rules the campus and that faculty, staff and other departments don't matter.
"We didn't really have a voice," Emery said. "This was a done deal and then 'Oh, guys you want to bless it?'"
