Bit time colleges on the left coast generate a lot of television rev enues. Had Bush been suspend ed, who would have watched the Texas/USC national championship game? Not me, but since the SEC wasn’t involved, I wasn’t watching anyway. Anybody who thinks the Nabobs Cowering Always Ad infinitum are going to take the 2005 National Championship away from USC believes Dick Cheney is an honest man. The NCAA only goes after soft targets. Name one college in a major market ever severely dis ciplined by the Nincompoops Chasing African Americans. And why is the NCAA after Bush? He is accused of taking money and gifts from an agent. I say, “So what?” Bush denies the accusations, and I say that even if he’s guilty, “So what?” Agents don’t make athletes run faster, they don’t take the hits, and they don’t score the touchdowns. That means agents could have given Bush his own city, and he still has to make the plays. Sports pundits are claiming Bush could lose the Heisman and his school could be stripped of its awards while he played for USC.

No. Reggie Bush is a talented run ning back. If he took money and cars from agents, and he insists he didn’t, that had nothing to do with what happened on the foot ball field. The NCAA spends too much time on what isn’t important. What’s important is that Bush left college without a degree. What is the NCAA doing about that? It has made more rules that affect scholarships when gradua tion rates dip too low. When a football program goes from 85 scholarships to 80, how much affect can that have? None. A local business had an excellent suggestion. Pay the athletes a sti- . f.ls? ’■A jfln B|; A jH I Blfet (ft' IMBB -' * 'BQQKife .Jr mP ’ / a*.

His suggestion: every schol arship freshman receives SSOO a month, sophomores S7OO, juniors SBOO and seniors SI,OOO. The money would take pres sure off student athletes who often need to earn extra money but are denied the opportunity by Nattering Clowns Aggravating Athletes. Athletes, especially football players, bring money to college. Research indicates that every scholarship athlete brings three academic students with him or her. That’s also revenue. How he or she performs on the field affects alumni donations. So a player who gives up his knees for the school gets nothing and the NCAA rejoices. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2006 Why college officials tolerate the Non-thinking Career Asinine Authoritarians is beyond my com prehension. The NCAA would do better investigating the use of steroids because drugs kill, but that useless organization will not do anything to upset the financial apple cart by insisting on healthy players. I will say this. If Bush was approached by agents who offer money and prizes for his signature on their contract, I hope he realizes people who are willing to break the rules and influence him to break the rules, will have the same ethi cal disregard for his welfare. Maybe anybody who swims with sharks deserves to become their lunch. 3B Vikings quar terback Nicholas Vance (3) push es inside the 5. On the stop for Perry is, among others, Marquez Thomas (33).
