NCAA president Mark Emmert owes one of the member institutions he's paid $1.8 million to represent quite a bit of money.

In 2006, Emmert pledged to donate $100,000 to a University of Washington scholarship fund when he was president of the school and earning more than $700,000 per year. By 2010, Emmert had donated $51,000 of the promised $100K, but the balance remains unpaid. As a result, UW was only able to endow 50 percent of the scholarship fund.

Emmert served as Washington's president from 2004 to 2010. The presidents of universities are considered the lead fundraisers for their school, and their fundraising efforts are reliant upon donors following through with their pledges.

"Personal philanthropy is a private matter for individuals and their families," Emmert said in a statement said. "My family and I care greatly for the University of Washington and will continue to support it throughout our lives."

"If [Emmert is] going to tell 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds, that [they violated NCAA rules] because they signed an autograph or they took a supplement or they got a tattoo free, who is he to tell anybody if he doesn’t pay his own bills?” Washington booster Jay Glazer complained to USA Today.

The University of Washington is Emmert's alma mater.
