By

Most coaches are on Twitter, verified blue check mark and all, but most don't actually do the Tweeting.

VIDEO: John Oliver COMPLETELY DESTROYS Mark Emmert, NCAA

By

WOW!! John Oliver LIT UP Mark Emmert. Oliver did to the NCAA what he did to FIFA. It's not hard, given that FIFA and the NCAA are such easy targets, and Emmert has the worst media skills possible.
