Add Georgetown University to the list of casualities. pi
The list already includes, among other schools, UCLA, pi
Southern Cal, SMU, Pitt, Miami, Wichita Sta'.o, New Mexico, a
Clemson and a few other institutions. They are members of
"JSA" - "Jock Schools of America." This elite group caters 01
to the athlete, the poor underprivileged soul who breaks out G

most important, the money. These schools usually make a s<
name for themselves in one sport. UCLA, Witchita State and G
New Mexico are the basketball schools, while SMU, Pitt,
Miami, Clemson and the other USC are the schools that excel fz
on the football field.
* Now, if you paid close attention to that last paragraph,
you'll notice that each school has been very recently, is still
on, or will soon be on NCAA probation. They are the schools
that seem to feel that the athletes need to be reimbursed
somehow for their skills on the court or field. A free $20,000
education with free meals, and free room and board isn't
enough. Of course it isn't. "
Well, none of them have quite reached the level of
Georgetown University. The Georgetown Administration has
fallen prey to that dreaded disease - "the sports is top at our
school syndrome." It attacks those universities unsatisfied m
with their academic reputation, if they have one. The disease ,
then forces the administration to lose all backbone as the n
athletic department takes over. Jim Carlen fits in well at c
"JSA" member institutions. The only books these people are c
worried about are playbooks and checkbooks. The only
things these athlete-students are expected to learn is how to a
break a 1-2-2 full-court trap press or not screw up on cross- n
^ blocking the defensive tackle. Calculus? History? C'mon. "
That stuff's for weirdos. F
Georgetown is the latest school to suffer from this disease.
Georgetown? Well, they're supposed to be different, aren't J
they? Isn't coach John Thompson one of the fairest coaches v
around? Naw, they wouldn't cheat. Thompson wouldn't pay u

Georgetown is a tough academic school. So why is he
ere? He is taking up valuable space and money to play in
e NBA's farm system and is keeping real students out of
liege. The academic reputation Georgetown has will
iffer. Ewing isn't going to major in chemical engineering or
e-med, so why is he there taking up space while a
gitimate student is kept out? Why?
Maybe if I were eight inches taller, 50 pounds heavier,
tssessed an IQ of 100, I'd understand. Maybe if all I could do
this world was block basketballs, run with footballs or hit
tseballs far, I'd understand.
I don't understand.
