I'll say greatest! But don't take my word for it... ask around!
What They're saying about the amazing Mark Emmert:
"Emmert was one of the best Presidents the UW has ever had. Period."
"I would take him back at the UW in a heartbeat."
"Most on these boards judge the UW by the Athletic Department which is,... to be blunt, "ridiculous". Universities are built around academics not athletics. Simple question: Could you have a Husky Football Team without an Academic institution?? (nooo).....Conversely could you have a University without a Husky Football Team?? (I believe so)"
"Emmert's tenure was a big success for UW in every respect."

In my opinion, Emmert is nothing more than a political coward. He'll accept the praise when things go right but is quick to deflect when things go wrong. When he had the chance to make the right but difficult call with Willingham, he caved. His tenure at the NCAA has been nothing more than one embarassment after another and he has yet to say, "the buck stops here," instead firing people on his staff and placing blame on them.
Fuck that guy. Of course, he is the perfect guy to be in charge in the worst sports city in the country. Fuck it - Emmert for Mayor!
This idea has a lot more merit than most people realize.
