"This has nothing to do with postseason tournaments," Emmert said. "This is only about making sure the NCAA's role in licensing bowls is well done and consistent with the values we want to promote."

The NCAA's review will be headed by Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and a yet-to-be-named co-chair who Emmert said would come from outside higher education and athletics circles. The task force will report back to Emmert and the NCAA's Division I board of directors in October.
