Just when I thought the NCAA couldn't be big enough of a joke, I get this one...

Mark Emmert needs to go.

He needs to go now.

I said this after the joke of the penalties with respect to Penn State, and this garbage I'm about to report just redoubles it.

For the last 25 years, the University of Miami football program has been the most visibly dirty program in the nation -- on and off the field.

This current set of allegations is so bad that, I believe for the first time in FBS history, a school has decided to bowl-ban itself for two consecutive years to hopefully blunt the sanctions, which, until Pedophile State, should've included the absolute and permanent Death Penalty to the football program.

Well, that ain't happening.

Now, one has to wonder what is...  Because, in a new low for the NCAA under Emmert (which I didn't think possible), the NCAA is now left to investigate...

... themselves.

The enforcement team worked with the lawyer for a key figure in the Miami investigation to improperly gain information against the University.  The NCAA must now contract an external investigation of themselves to find out the level of damage to the Miami investigation.

And if you think I believe this isn't going to significantly hamper the NCAA's penalties, you're fooling yourselves.

But after the Freeh Report and ESPN's direct intervention to allow Penn State to remain on the field (much less, in my belief, keep their doors open as an educational institution), does the NCAA really want to punish Miami, knowing that there is only one real penalty in can, should, and (otherwise) must impose on the football program?

So this is the NCAA's back door out -- and out from under Emmert, as well.  He's pissed, probably should be, but the frank notion is that it is clear that the NCAA has no intention of ever imposing the Death Penalty again -- not in the Corporate College Sports sphere.

So the NCAA enforcement team, in my honest opinion, deliberately commits malfeasance to scuttle the investigation out from under Emmert.  Miami can continue to play, probably with some small scholarship reductions and "time served", since the NCAA's investigation is now, almost certainly, irreparably tainted.

Time for Emmert to go.

Now.

The NCAA will follow him if they don't do this.
