The #AskEmmert Twitter Q&amp;A did not go as planned

Somewhere in Indianapolis, an NCAA public relations employee is not having a good morning.

NCAA President Mark Emmert appeared on Mike & Mike this morning, and the ESPN radio show apparently thought hyping the segment with a hashtag trend would be a good idea.

Instead, the Twitterverse hopped on the #AskEmmert Q&A and began railing against the NCAA, Emmert's arguments for athletes' amateur status, and more. Below, a few of our favorite tweets from the brouhaha: --Sarah Eberspacher

@MikeAndMike Can you explain amateurism and not paying players without using circular logic? #askemmert

@MikeAndMike how do you believe the NCAA is a non-profit when college sports is a billion dollar industry? #AskEmmert

Only #AskEmmert can preform an Easter Miracle in bringing UK & Lou fan bases together to laugh at a common enemy.
