"Famous Crimes" by Chordboard (Public Domain)

Here’s another idea to float for Worst Professor Ever’s TV treatment: What about Law and Order, Campus Division?  Check out this Huffington Post slideshow about campus crimes and transgressions, which would probably generate the requisite material to get you through enough episodes as a mid-season replacement–and that’s not even including the Georgetown meth lab and the Columbia incest deal, which didn’t make it on the list, or a “ripped-from-the-headlines” storyline you could embellish from the Wisconsin protests.  We’ve covered at least two items on the HuffPo blotter, U New Mexico phone-sex dominatrix and the CSUN pee-er.  (Speaking of CSUN, what’s going on there, especially with the econ prof’s Thai sex-tourism site?)  What’s interesting is that the HuffPo readers picked a plagiarism case as their top choice, over the more salacious options.
