The NCAA Is On A Warpath

The NCAA has requested permission to investigate the University of Georgia, and more specifically junior WR AJ Green, about any wrongdoing in Athens.

Requested permission? Was Georgia really going to say no? Instead of playing nice, I think the NCAA should raid a campus like a SWAT team. Repel down the side of buildings, kick in windows and doors, throw canisters of tear gas into administrator's offices, and have Interim NCAA President Jim Isch walk in and slap a search warrant on an Athletic Director's desk. I'm not saying it would improve things, but it sure as hell would be awesome to watch those videos on YouTube.

This does cap off a pretty tumultuous month for UGA. You may remember this. I mean, how could you forget it? If UGA starts out SEC play in September with losses at South Carolina and at home against Arkansas, suicide rates could soar in Athens. Bulldog fans just suffered through terrible basketball and baseball seasons, and now may lose their star WR. Eh. Oh well.

Back to the NCAA. Jim Isch sure is making the most of his opportunity as Interim President. After Myles Brand succumbed to cancer in September of last year, Isch took over his post until University of Washington Chancellor Mark Emmert steps in on November 1, 2010. That gives Isch roughly around 15 months at the height of his professional career. Any self respecting person with only so much time to live out his/her dream should absolutely make the most of it, and Isch has.

A month and a half ago the NCAA dropped a bomb on USC, and now in the past 2 weeks the NCAA has marched into North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and now Georgia. Most of the allegations the NCAA has looked into involve improper contact with and benefits received from agents, or pimps. If the long term effects help prevent such occurances in the future, Jim Isch may be considered one of the best NCAA Presidents ever. Even if his end is in sight.
