Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

And Shalala knows damn well what happened...she has lied out of her ass for years now and it is about to come crashing down on her.

Well she did learn at the feet of the Master in this sort of thing......but even he knew when enough was enough. I don't think she is does....

Just to state my opinion right quick-

Miami is coming back hard at the NCAA regarding their handling of the investigation, and they may be right on some things.

This can be summed up as two corrupt organizations about to square off.

Problem I see is that while Miami and the NCAA may both be corrupt organizations, they're not on equal footing.

Miami voluntarily entered an agreement with their NCAA 'peers,' and now that their capo is coming to collect, Shalalalala has responded to Emmert with a "go home and get your fucking shine box."

We all know what happens to Billy Batts after uttering that line.

Only way da U avoids additional major penalties:

After a closed door meeting with Mark Emmert (and that isn't milk on her lip).....

Supposedly the NCAA Committee on Infractions scheduled a conference call with Shalala on Friday to address her comments. She should probably chill the [censored] out for a bit.

If anybody has the right to be [censored]ed off at overreaching on the part of NCAA investigators, it's the people subpeonaed in the bankruptcy proceeding. It's the bankruptcy court. It's not Donna [censored]ing Shalala. Or Miami. Her faux outrage reaks of the desperation of a descendant of Bilbo Baggins.

Miami's whining about the NCAA's corrupt practices here (and they were corrupt, don't get me wrong) are a lot like the rapist complaining that the cop who took the sperm sample from his victim ran a red light on the way to the crime scene.

NCAA backs out of Miami settlement talks
As if the NCAA hasn't done enough already to aggravate Miami, add this to the list: Last week, UM and the NCAA engaged in serious settlement talks, and several UM people expected a deal because president Mark Emmert seemed initially supportive. UM wanted a settlement and likely would have accepted modest scholarship reductions. But a source said the NCAA then informed UM there would be no deal and suggested to UM the enforcement staff and two key boards were against it because of concerns about "not deviating from the rules." Also, UM tried to convince the NCAA to not use the words "lack of institutional control" -- and was hopeful at one point it might be changed to the less serious "failure to monitor" -- but the NCAA wouldn't back down.

Perhaps their little hobbit president shouldn't have gone all "righteous indignation" on them?

It?s OK for the University of Miami to get screwed. The Canes deserve it. For years "The U" got away with winning football games and championships by providing opportunities to arrogant, preening athletes from the wrong Florida zip codes, with the wrong SAT scores and (allegedly) holding the wrong what-is-in-it-for-me attitude.

Uh huh. Screwed. Right. Got it.

Love the take that Miami was "providing opportunities." How altruistic of them.

Bilas has been making the rounds this week railing against the "hypocrisy" of the NCAA on the Miami case specifically. He's always one of ESPiN's best, but he needs to stick to basketball and telling jokes on twitter.

Bilas has been speaking out against the NCAA for a few years now. His twitter feed is filled with either jokes or ripping the NCAA. He has come out several times saying what happen to Ohio State was a joke
