Has this story lead ESPN.com yet? Every time I check it's just tucked in as a sidebar headline. Right now it's on the side as "No Miami Suspensions Yet" and they're opting to use their splash for a story about who the Braves are going to choose for their postseason rotation. Just because you got your ass beat on a story doesn't mean you don't report it, unless you have a slighted agenda.

Don't know how your surprised by this... He knows noone in Miami, or the west coast cares (because according to Colin, everyone's out working out living "real" lives unlike the big ten folks), and that most of his listeners are from the Big Ten country, so by poking the bee hive he gets more calls and feeds his ego

When Dohrmann went to press with an article that implicated non-starters that don't even have tattoos hanging out at a tattoo parlor, or the damning accusation that Tressel rigged a raffle at a football camp 30 years ago, I think there was a reason for pause.

Yahoo has photos of Shalalalala holding a check for $50,000 from Shapiro in the bowling alley where he says he threw a party for players, and former players have already confirmed that this happened.

The NCAA is going to nuke Miami.

I am going to go with Yahoo!'s word on this one. "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."

I would say they have the facts.

I'm not sure they can. Their last major violations case was in 1995. In order to be considered a repeat violator, wouldn't the allegations have to come within 5 years of the prior sanctions? And without that status, I'm not sure they would get any more than a 3-year bowl ban and several scholarship reductions.

It will be interesting to see what happens if there's a megashift in conference alignments while Da U in serving its length-to-be-determined death penalty.
Do they get jettisoned from the ACC and left laying by the side of the road for the Sun Belt to scoop up?

I read somewhere that they were on probation from 2005-2008, can't find it now. Still think they're fucked.

there is a provision in the NCAA rules that allows the NCAA to drop the hammer on miami despite the statute of limitations due to this being an ongoing activity for such a long period of time, with the knowledge of members of the coaching staff. The NCAA has everything it needs to go Hiroshima on Miami if they choose to do so.

There is a by-law (forget which one, think its back in the 30s) that would allow the NCAA to go beyond the statute of limitations and take the entire eight years worth of violations together. Combined with their 3-year probation from 05-08, there is no way that Da U gets off easy.

EDIT: Don't know where 5 years came from.
