Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

[buxfan4life]

Freedman told the Herald that none of the 72 players alleged to have received improper benefits have contacted him to return any money.

Really? None of the players have volunteered to give money back? Color me surprised.

The Wonderlick Years

Best known as America's alluring dream girl from her days as Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years" (1988), Danica McKellar made her breakthrough at the early age of 12. After that show ended, she went on to graduate Summa cum Laude from UCLA with a degree in Mathematics, and even proved a new math theorem, the Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem.

If you like it, then you should have put a ring on it Kevin.

How big of a dumbass is the Arnold kid for letting Winnie get away?

Books
McKellar is the author of The New York Times[2] bestselling book Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail,[20] that encourages girls in middle school to enjoy and succeed at mathematics.[21] The book has been favorably reviewed by Tara C. Smith, the founder of Iowa Citizens for Science and a professor of epidemiology at the University of Iowa.[22] In an interview with Smith, McKellar said that she wrote the book "to show girls that math is accessible and relevant, and even a little glamorous" and to counteract "damaging social messages telling young girls that math and science aren't for them".[23]

McKellar studied mathematics at UCLA, graduating with highest honors (summa cum laude ) in 1998. As an undergraduate, she coauthored a scientific paper[15] with Professor Lincoln Chayes and fellow student Brandy Winn. Their results are termed the 'Chayes?McKellar?Winn theorem'.[16][17] Referring to the mathematical abilities of his student coauthors, Chayes was quoted in The New York Times[18] as saying, "I thought that the two were really, really first-rate." McKellar's Erdős number is four.[19] Her Erdős?Bacon number is 6.

An intelligent, articulate young woman, who, in our society still has to pose in her underwear to be noticed by men.

God, I love this world.

NCAA rules on the eligibility of the eight suspended players, and lightly slaps the wrist:

Eight Miami Football Student-Athletes Must Sit Out Games and Repay Benefits

INDIANAPOLIS---Eight University of Miami football student-athletes must miss competition and repay benefits as a condition of becoming eligible to play again, according to a decision today by the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff. The student-athletes received varying levels of recruiting inducements and extra benefits from university booster Nevin Shapiro and athletics personnel, according to the facts of the case.

Reinstatement decisions are independent of the NCAA enforcement process and typically are made once the facts of the student-athlete?s involvement are determined. This is typically well in advance of infractions decisions. The enforcement investigation into the University of Miami is ongoing.

Of the eight football student-athletes, three received substantial benefits as prospective student-athletes from Shapiro and athletics personnel to entice them to enroll at the university, which are considered some of the most serious recruiting violations within the NCAA.

Olivier Vernon, who received more than $1,200 in benefits primarily from Shapiro, must miss six games and make repayment of the value of the benefits. These recruitment benefits included meals, transportation, access to Shapiro?s game suite, drinks, as well as cover charges at two different nightclubs, among others.

Two other student-athletes, Aravious Armstrong and Dyron Dye, will miss four games and must make repayment. Armstrong received approximately $788 in extra benefits from Shapiro and athletics personnel during his recruitment. Dye received approximately $738. These student-athletes? benefits included five nights of impermissible lodging from institutional staff during their unofficial visits, transportation, multiple meals, and entertainment at a gentleman?s club.

Different than the first three student-athletes, five other student-athletes received impermissible benefits while currently enrolled at the university.

These five student-athletes ? Marcus Forston, Sean Ryan Spence, Adewale Ojomo, Travis Benjamin and Jacory Harris ? must miss one game and make repayment. Forston received more than $400 in extra benefits from Shapiro and athletic personnel, including athletic equipment, meals, nightclub cover charges and entertainment at a gentleman?s club. Spence received approximately $275 in benefits, including meals, transportation, as well as cover charges and entertainment at a gentleman?s club. Ojomo received $240 in extra benefits, including a meal and nightclub cover charges. Benjamin received more than $150 in extra benefits, including meals and entertainment. Harris received more than $140 in benefits from meals, entertainment, transportation and nightclub cover charges.

So only Ray Ray Armstrong, Dyron Dye and Oliver Vernon will be suspended for the osu game

 

[buckeyesin07]

I'm curious as to why most of the Miami players only got 1 game, while the Herron, Posey, etc. got 5. Is this solely a matter of the dollar value of benefits received?

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

So only Ray Ray Armstrong, Dyron Dye and Oliver Vernon will be suspended for the osu game

What the hell? I thought this was supposed to be the end of Miami...

 

[BuckWrestler141]

Only two Starters will be out vs Ohio State.

The good news is that we will have our starters with 2 games of experience, while Miami will have a bunch of starters playing their first game of the year, so they might not have the rust knocked off yet.

@slmandel Stewart Mandel One very cryptic part of NCAA's release: Players received benefits from Shapiro "and athletics personnel." Hmmm.

 

[OhioState001]

NCAA changed the rules you can take money from boosters as long as you pay it back, like a loan

Jordan Whiting's four game and one suspension for getting $150 says, "no".

It makes no fricking sense whatsoever, unless it is a quid pro quo for ratting out Miami to the NCAA in the bigger case.

You're mistake was thinking you knew what the NCAA was going to do. They're just trying to keep us on our toes.

[sarcasm]I'm just glad they weren't receiving extra benefits and that nobody at the school knew what was going on...then they'd be in real trouble and have to vacate wins.[/sarcasm]

Whiting is only suspended for 1 game.
