Miami's sanctions should be fun, right (after Penn State)? Da U actually broke some NCAA rules.

Oregon will get off though (Nike).

I think Miami should get something between USC's and Penn State's sanctions. So a 3-year bowl ban seems appropriate to me.

They might have to fire Golden due to a show/cause. When I heard that he was retaining Shapiro's right hand man from the previous staff (along with a couple of other guys), I saw this coming. Golden is not really a smart guy retaining ANYONE from the previous regime. Randy was a straight arrow kind of guy, but he also put on pretty big blinders as to how some of his guys were recruiting.

In light of what Emmert did to Penn State, I think Miami should be a bit worried now once everything comes to light in that situation.

In light of the summary decision by Emmert in the PSU case based on the Freeh Report, why is there no ruling on this situation yet? Yahoo! Sports already did all the legwork for him, he has the evidence in the article, or if he wants more the article lays out a roadmap for him to move forward. So let's go here. Let's get this thing resolved and drop the hammer on "Da U" already.

This, to me, is one of the huge problems with Emmert's PSU sanctions - everyone outside Happy Valley agrees that these guys needed to get hammered, but there was no NCAA investigation, no chance for Penn State to respond, nothing. He's set a precedent for how situations like this Miami investigation can be handled, but clearly he's not following that precedent with Miami. Nobody remotely thinks hookers and blow given to players and recruits is the same as Sandusky/Paterno/Spanier/etc's crimes, but they don't have to be. All they have to be is bad enough - and they are.

So let's go. No more foot-dragging. Out with a decision, and let's make it USC-like. Miami has more than shown they are willing to flout NCAA rules over three decades.

I look at it this way: PSU paid for the Freeh investigation themselves and the findings were turned over to the NCAA. It was essentially them self-reporting the violations. Emmert proposed some sanctions and the PSU accepted. Emmert also left a caveat that the NCAA reserves the right to open additional investigations and implement additional sanctions, should those investigations warrant it.

You've also gotta look at the credibility of the main players. Freeh is a highly respected, former head of the FBI. Da star witness in Da U's case is in prison. I can understand Emmert wanting a little more info before making a ruling. That said, I still think the hammer is gonna fall for them too.

Don't pick that sentence out from that paragraph. I'm not commenting specifically about the perceived lack of due process, but how it sets a precedent for future (or in the Miami case, current) investigations.

I'm pretty sure the only reason Emmert and the NCAA were able to move as quickly as they did was because the Freeh report was an internal investigation paid for by the university. If the NCAA were to use a Yahoo sports article as it's only source of info to punish cryami then I'd imagine Mark May would be creating Mark May trying to get tOSU busted for something on a daily basis.

Right. But I don't see it as a precedent, considering the source of the various reports.

I don't necessarily care if the NCAA does its version of DUE PROCESS for violations that don't include the raping of children.
