Former Massachusetts Governor Baker, or as he's called around here, Charlie Parker. Governor Charlie Parker in Massachusetts. He's treating his new position as president of the NCAA, just like he treated his time at the Statehouse. Talk the talk. Make friends with Democrats. Get rich. Get out. But it turns out, they expect him to work for that seven figure salary. His ex-employees aren't afraid to call him out on national news for poor performance. William Bach III served on the NCAA committee on infractions. He quickly learned any necessary changes in the organization. For example, keeping male athletes out of women's spaces would be mostly cosmetic. And it was very hopeful when Mr. Baker, former governor of Massachusetts, assumed the office because he has a reputation for fairness. And understand that he has a daughter that played high school sports. I was hoping that there would be a fresh look at this issue, but it became apparent and is apparent because the rules have only been cosmetically changed, that no change was going to happen. So the committee I was on is supposed to have been about ethical sport. What is happening to women is unethical. It's discriminatory. It's, I believe, a violation of Title IX protections for women. But it violates the fundamental tenant of sport, which is competitive fairness. If you don't have competitive fairness, you don't have true sport. At that point, I realized I needed to just make it very clear that I couldn't continue in that role given their unwillingness to change those policies. Having ruined an entire state and now a major organization, the natural next step for Charlie Parker should be the White House. Am I piecing together the hack career path correctly?
