CHICAGO (AP) — NCAA President Mark Emmert says sweeping changes in scholarship regulations could be in place as early as the next academic year. He also says there is no talk about allowing compensation for autographs and signed memorabilia.

Emmert made his remarks at a luncheon on Monday. Georgia running back Todd Gurley is suspended while the school investigates possible violations of NCAA rules involving autographs and memorabilia, and Florida State is reviewing whether star quarterback Jameis Winston received improper benefits from a large number of autographs being sold online.

Regarding regulations covering autographs and memorabilia, Emmert says “There’s not anyone talking about change in that rule right now. All of those things will be debated by all of the conferences and the member presidents going forward.”
