University of Miami's diminutive president Donna Shalala has surprisingly emerged as the biggest bad ass in the world of sports by telling NCAA prez Mark Emmert where to stick it last night. Or as Bruce Feldman put it, "I have never seen a school President go after the NCAA like Donna Shalala has this week ... ever." She's not just the hero of all UM fans, but of everyone who wishes death upon the NCAA.
Twitter, of course, has now turned Shalala into a mic dropping mercenary badass.
Donna Shalala is friends with the people who killed Bin Laden... #NCAA - are you sure you're ready for this?

Donna Shalala awakens from her hangover, takes swig of Jack & grabs her phone. "Bring on Emmert," she says as she climbs into her robo suit.

Hungover Donna Shalala awakens and checks her phone. 7 outgoing calls to a Pyongyang area code? But it's too late - the missile is airborne.

Donna Shalala went 1980s U on the NCAA tonight. I bet she wrote it with camo pants on.

Somebody, quick, hand Donna Shalala a microphone, so she can drop it. That's the only way Canes fans will be happier tonight.
