A.J. Green and the Southern Inquisition

Close your eyes. Imagine if you will that Notre Dame is still relevant in the college football universe. Now imagine the Irish having a wide-out considered to be the best in the nation. Imagine that if he came out as a junior he would be a top ten if not a top five pick. Now, imagine that a sleazy former player from another program contacted him and claimed to be a memorabilia collector and offered to buy a jersey from the N.D. receiver to keep in his personal collection. Now imagine that receiver sold him the jersey, felt guilty, admitted to the sale, and donated the money to a charity. Do you know what his punishment would be? NOTHING!!!!!!

In fact he would be hailed as a heroic victim who turned his being victimized into charity. He would be on the cover of SI. ESPN would do a 30 on 30 concerning this Nobel Irish player. The Sporting News would demand that a new yearly trophy be given in his honor to recognize the player who did the most off the field to inspire and personify what it means to be an NCAA athlete.

This scenario would be true if he played at Ohio St., Michigan, Penn St., or any other non-southern program. However, if you do what is listed above and you play in the South (especially the SEC) you get a four game suspension. Look around this off-season. Southern Cal almost got the death penalty only because their violations were so egregious and blatant the NCAA could not possible sweep them under the rug. Trust us the NCAA and the Northeastern media did not want to see the great white hope of the west (the only big program the SEC champion has not taken to the woodshed in a national title game) in this much trouble. Ohio St. is garbage and everyone knows it. USC is out of play for a few years. Texas and Oklahoma have already been dismissed in title games. That means the SEC champion walks to a fifth straight national title for the conference.

Unless, the NCAA suspends all of their top players. Follow us here, if Green is out Georgia has a greater chance of loosing to Carolina and Arkansas, Florida is down, and the Gamecocks will inevitable be the Gamecocks and fall apart around Halloween. If a three loss (but only two in the conference) Carolina team drags into Atlanta in December and a one loss Bama team beats them, but Ohio St. has one loss and Texas is undefeated then guess who is out in the cold.

We need 16 team conferences so we can get a play-off and do away with the corrupt NCAA!
