Report: Aldarius Johnson uncooperative with NCAA

In a joint release Miami and the NCAA announced the suspensions of eight different players in connection with impermissible benefits received from former booster Nevin Shapiro and university employees. The school also announced the indefinite suspension of senior wide receiver Aldarius Johnson. Miami spokesperson Chris Freet told the Sun-Sentinel onTuesday that Johnson's suspension was not-related to the NCAA investigation, but instead having to do with something he did recently.

But a source close to the NCAA situation told the Sun-Sentinel was "less than forthright" in his interviews with NCAA investigators, a stark contrast to the rest of the Miami players.

Johnson was singled out by Nevin Shapiro in the Yahoo investigative report as someone who received money "at least 10 times," often returning to ask for more from the former booster.

Somewhere between the report from the school and the one from the Sun-Sentinel's source probably lies the truth. Johnson has admitted himself that his success as a freshman (team-high 31 receptions in 2008) made him too comfortable with his position in the Hurricanes' rotation. But things have been different under new had coach Al Golden, and after an ankle injury this spring Johnson found himself absent from the depth chart heading into the summer.
...
It seems that Johnson and the new Hurricanes coaching staff still aren't on the same page, in many ways. My guess would be that the former freshman standout has likely played his last game in a MIami uniform.

Interesting that Forston has $400 to pay back before he can play. Where is a college kid gonna get $400 in 2-3 weeks? That won't be easy so there's no guarantee that he will be available for our game. (but I'll just bet he finds a way some how)

He could just sell his ACC championship rings.

Oh wait...

Dayum...it's like TexPN heard you talkin bout them...

The bowl game stipulation is part of the Big Ten's complex tiebreaking procedures for determining division champions, released Thursday.


Ohio State is waiting for a ruling from the NCAA's Committee on Infractions regarding violations committed by former coach Jim Tressel, former quarterback Terrelle Pryor and four current players. The school has self-imposed penalties that include vacating all wins from the 2010 season and returning its share of the Big Ten's Sugar Bowl revenue.


Two-team ties will be broken by head-to-head record.

Seems some OSU players made the news rounds recently...

I'm thinking you shouldn't throw rocks if you live in a glass house...

On to more serious schtuff...

I read somewhere that scholarship athletes can't like "real" jobs?
Why is it that academic scholarship recipients can?

Seriously - some sh!t needs to change. Some of their rules are just flat-out stupid.
How can you expect a kid in college, probably one of the greatest times of their lives, to run around with empty pockets?

I think these student-athletes need a union to protect them, and take a stance.
Just THREATEN a sit-down for a season, and watch the NCAA and Conferences take the sh!t of their lives!

At some point, they're going to have to take a stand, stand up for themselves, and stop putting up with being treated like minimum-wage slaves with less rights than those on academic scholarships.

Yeah, except Ohio State's money pimp was a tattoo artist and the money exchanging hands was actually just memorabilia. Two slightly different things here. While it looks as though Ohio State went through turmoil, they are sitting in luke warm water, while the water Miami's sitting in is boiling.

And yet, despite all of this Miami and others (Oregon and Auburn to name a couple) STILL don't/won't get nearly as much media pub. :lol: Screwy, ain't it?

That is all fine and dandy, but it has little to do with a booster paying for hookers for your scholar athletes to screw on his yacht. How much pocket money they have does not enter into that deal so much...


....although enough money to buy condoms should be made available. Pell Grant maybe??

Oh, I wasn't excusing that behavior, by any means...

I was speaking in general.
