Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

Miami football has followed the same life trajectory as Tony Montana if he had lived past the 80's.

80's: drugs, women, breaking the rules with plenty of swagger, we're on top of the world!

Now: probably still doing drugs but it's more pathetic than cool, the quality of the women (cheerleaders) you hang out with has dropped off significantly (you're probably paying for them anyway), you're still breaking the rules but it's not working and your swagger is more phony than a bowl of plastic fruit. You are certainly not on top of the world and most people don't want to have anything to do with you.

Yep, I think that analogy works perfectly.

Miami to forgo bowl for 2nd time

Miami officials said Monday that the university is making what it called an "unprecedented decision" to self-impose a postseason ban for the second straight year, ending any chance of the Hurricanes playing in either the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game or a bowl.

Just like last year, Miami's decision was made with regard to the status of the ongoing NCAA investigation into the school's compliance practices. The inquiry began in 2011 after a former booster went public with allegations that he provided dozens of athletes and recruits with extra benefits such as cash and gifts.

By sitting out again, Miami -- which still has not been presented with its notice of allegations from the NCAA -- is hoping to lessen the hit of any looming sanctions that could be handed down when the investigation ends. Schools often self-impose penalties with hope that the NCAA takes those measures into account when doling out punishment.

Miami clearly hopes that a pair of postseason bans, especially when the Hurricanes still had a chance at a Bowl Championship Series berth this year, helps its cause with the NCAA. Whenever the process ends, sanctions against the football and men's basketball programs are expected, with penalties likely to include probation terms and scholarship reductions.

Awfully big of them to pass on a second straight third-tier bowl game that none of their "fans" or alumni would attend anyway.

That's what I was thinking. Ohio State should have passed on the Gator Bowl last year, in hopes of getting to go to a bowl game this year.

I believe completely that Ohio State would have gotten a bowl ban in 2012, regardless of what they self-imposed in 2011. I hope the NCAA says to Miami, "I don't know why you self-imposed those bowl bans in 2011 and 2012. Because your penalty is just as severe as if you had gone to those bowls."

That's a big assumption that the NCAA would handle their sanctions in a manner that even remotely resembles common sense. I'm sure they'll get "time served" and nothing further. Leaving tOSU wondering...what if?

Yea, they'll fuck this up and Miami will somehow come off looking vindicated for passing up 3rd tier bowls.

yep. manly move on their part.

i woulda at least considered giving them an iota of respect if they had made this decision pre-season (or better yet, last year sometime) instead of waiting to see how shitty of a bowl they got.

I hate Duh U, but the NCAA is pretty comical sometimes.

It'll be interesting to see if they keep this consistency moving forward. (They won't).

I would think that would be obvious. Without any counter, you have to go with the evidence at hand.

If all of what Shapiro says is corroborated or at least not denied, bye bye Dur U....

Reports: NCAA nearing Notice of Allegations for Miami

The interminable investigation into the Miami Hurricanes and a rogue booster may be set to take its next major step, multiple media outlets are reporting.

According to both the Associated Press and CaneInsider.com, the NCAA's probe into the Miami football program is on the verge of completion, with the former reporting that 'the NCAA is scheduling meetings to discuss specific allegations with individuals who are believed to have committed violations found during the inquiry'; some of those are scheduled for Monday. The latter website reports that a Notice of Allegations could be sent to the school within the next 72 hours.

Uh oh...

The investigation centered on convicted felon and Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro, who allegedly lavished millions of dollars in impermissible benefits on, among others at the school, football players. In February, Shapiro, apparently agitated over nearly four dozen individuals connected to The U were lined up to testify against him in his federal trial, promised to take "that program down to Chinatown" and that the Miami story will become "an urban legend" before it?s all said and done.
