Stand back...there is a hurricane coming through!




There used to be this horrible professional wrestler named Gregory Helms a.k.a. "The Hurricane" whose catchphrase was" Stand back...there is a hurricane coming through". That phrase reminds me of the mess the NCAA has found itself in once again because of The U a.k.a. Miami Hurricanes. The NCAA hasn't seen anything this nasty since they decapitated SMU in the late 80's. Sure USC, Ohio State, Auburn and North Carolina all cheated, but none of that compares to what the South Beach boys have been doing. Now the NCAA is faced with a giant mess asking themselves Who the hell is Nevin Shapiro? WTF is a Ponzi scheme?

After the NCAA saw the devastating aftermath of the Mustang execution, they said they would never again give the death penalty to a program. That opened up the flood gates.

Hey USC, we know you are cheating, so here is a slap on the wrist. Auburn, you bought a National Championship, and we let you. The mighty Ohio State, you are okay, just fire your lying coach and make him the patsy. Boise State, the ultimate underdog story, of course that's not cheating. The Oregon Ducks paying a guy to influence kids...no biggie. Miami did what? WTF?!?!?! Now we have a problem!

The Hurricanes make those other schools look like choir boys. Some examples of this would be gambling, sex, clubs, cars, yachts and many, many other things. I have some questions to throw out there: First off, how did they get away with everything for so long? Secondly, why did they suck so bad while they were doing it? Lastly, I don't know if you noticed, but that Miami football program that got paid hasn't been good in 15 years. Not one of those can be answered right now.

The other question I have for the NCAA is what now? Do you go back on your word and kill Hurricane U? Or do you just give them a slap on the wrist and go on about your business? I think you have no choice in the matter. You have to give them the death penalty. You also need to hold coaches and athletic directors responsible for these goings on. If you are a coach and get caught with a dirty program, you need to serve a 10-year probationary period. You can't be around, near, or associated with a program for at least 10 years. That would make you think twice about having boosters around wouldn't it? Maybe not!

All I know is that I am sick of college football cheats. The call is out NCAA! Stand up and kill the U! You have to do this, because if you don't, the next Hurricane that comes through here is going to be that of biblical proportions.
