This story broke at 10:30 last night. It's now after 9:00.

I cannot believe it's taken LSUFreek over 10 hours for a .gif. Either he's sick, on vacation, or this one is going to be epic.

Given the level of truthiness of the allegations against Ohio State, I can understand how it might be a good idea to suspend judgment in the Miami case. Right now, as I understand it, it's pretty much the word of a felon (convicted of financial fraud) against the university.

Sentence one, I whole-heatedly agree with. Sentence two, however, is a gross misrepresentation, in my IMO.

SI had one anonymous source (who BTW had an education level below my 10 year old daughter - and its not even close) and unnamed neighbors who saw the players in the shop). From that it gave a list of 20 names and spun a long-winded narrative of how evil Tress was.

Yahoo!, while basing the story on an admittedly questionable source, corroborated its allegations with multiple named and unnamed sources and extensive documentation, going into specific detail on how each allegation made by Shapiro was corroborated. Also cited is this story the fact that while Shapiro is not trustworthy at best, he gave the same story to federal investigators and if he lied he jeopardized his 20 year plea bargain.


I'll patiently wait for a NCAA verdict, but if I were a Vegas odd-smaker, I have a strong idea what the line would be on huge sanctions.

It's a little more than just the word of a felon...

Yahoo! said:
In an effort to substantiate the booster?s claims, Yahoo! Sports audited approximately 20,000 pages of financial and business records from his bankruptcy case, more than 5,000 pages of cell phone records, multiple interview summaries tied to his federal Ponzi case, and more than 1,000 photos. Nearly 100 interviews were also conducted with individuals living in six different states. In the process, documents, photos and 21 human sources ? including nine former Miami players or recruits, and one former coach ? corroborated multiple parts of Shapiro?s rule-breaking.

This story seems to reside closer to "truth" rather than "truthiness". The Ohio State stories collectively had barely a fraction of the evidence that's been brought against Da U.

I haven't had cable for about 6 months now, but yesterday I caught a little bit of SportsCenter and ESPN had some roundtable, pomp and circumstance segment about college athletics and rules infractions, and Urban was talking about how coaches who commit secondary violations should be penalized, and Saban and Belloti agreed yada yada, but the only thing I can think right now is...

Yeah, Yahoo! Sports really did just drop this on everybody's head.

the best part of this whole thing is that the guy used STOLEN MONEY to get in with Da U.

Well, not surprising, since most of the cash used to buy tickets to 'Canes games is either stolen or from drug exchanges.

Though to be honest, there's not that much cash actually used to buy tickets to 'Canes games.
