Once the news dropped that Ken's suspension had been reviewed and an internal investigation opened against a former employee, the media had a frenzy. The scandal brought other cases back from the woodwork, and many other athletes who had been a victim of Michael's twisted justice came forward, telling their story.
Luke Emmert the President of the NCAA received enormous backlash for allowing the farce to continue for as long as it did. While he had made the right decision in the end, it was too little too late in the eyes of the media.
And so under such pressure, he was forced to announce his resignation as President to appease the masses. His 10 year reign on top of the NCAA had come to an end, and whatever good he had done was tarnished thanks to a single employee.
While it might seem sad, things like this happened all the time in the world of business. Luke had gracefully stepped down and chosen to retire completely, handing the reigns to the next in line.
