Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

[OhioState2110]

Any recruits in the 2012 class that we can pickup now?

Guess who the coach was when all this more than likely started... I'll give you a hint... he was just fired from another ACC school because they were likely to get the death penalty...

There is little to no chance this has anything to do with Butch Davis. According to the timeline established by Shapiro he didn't start giving stuff away until after the conclusion of the 2001-02 season. The team banquet was in December, and a few weeks after that (the date is unclear in the article) is when he gave away that first pair of NBA tickets to Williams. Meanwhile Butch Davis was hired away by the Browns in late January. If there was any overlap all it couldn't have been by more than a matter of days, and I highly doubt a player getting a set of NBA tix is something that would've come across his desk.

If what this midget says is true, the NCAA HAS to give TheU the death penalty - or simply strike it from the books because nothing will ever be worth the death penalty.

Hookers? Check.
Barrels of cash? Check.
Funneling players to agents? Check.
Coaches direct involvement? Check.
Buying an abortion? Check.
Buying recruits? Check.
Paying players? Check.
Bounties on opponents? Check.

And to top it off, it was all done with stolen money in the most brazen fashion imaginable.

Really, the only thing missing - so far - is truckloads of dope, and you KNOW that's coming soon.

Plus, there's also this: (I copied it on Operationsports from a guy who copied it from another guy)

From Miami's last case

As required by NCAA legislation for any institution involved in a major infractions case, Miami shall be subject to the provisions of NCAA Bylaw 19.6.2.3, concerning repeat violators, for a five-year period beginning on the effective date of the penalties in this case, February 27, 2003.

Any major violation occurring between February 27, 2003 and February 26, 2008 would trigger repeat violator status for the Hurricanes.


Now

19.5.2.3 Repeat Violators.
19.5.2.3.1 Time Period. An institution shall be considered a ?repeat? violator if the Committee on Infractions finds that a major violation has occurred within five years of the starting date of a major penalty.
For this provision to apply, at least one major violation must have occurred within five years after the starting date of the penalties in the previous case. It shall not be necessary that the Committee on Infractions? hearing be conducted or its report issued within the five-year period.

Ohhh Paul Dee

?The real issue here is if you have high‑profile players, your enforcement staff has to monitor those students at a higher level....So high‑profile players demand high‑profile compliance."- Paul Dee on Reggie Bush and USC

Didn't Shalala make some smartass remarks about NCAA violations at other schools?

As BB73 reminded us; what she made clear is that she knows what's going on there. I wonder if she'd like to clarify...


If the NCAA does decide to get tough on someone; they now have a target well south of Columbus. Works for me.

George Dohrmann's twitter feed tonight is the journalistic equivalent of Kentucky and Ole Miss fans chanting "S-E-C! S-E-C!" - halfway taking credit for shit he's not capable of doing.

Here's one gem:

Love that @CharlesRobinson broke out each Miami player with his own page. So many allegations against each it was necessary.

No, George - it was necessary because he's a real journalist. Just like they teach you in third grade math, you have to show your work with your answer, otherwise people have to assume you're a cheater or full of shit.

Looking forward to public statement from Paul Dee, former Miami AD and chair of COI. Sat in judgment of USC, and this right under his nose.

Indeed - just read about this HUGE conflict of interest! Miami fans can breathe easy knowing this guy is overseeing this "investigation"

Love the part about Winslow crashing a jet ski. Can that dude drive anything without near-fatal consequences?

"Near-fatal." Pfui. Sister Soldier can't do anything right.

Nope. That's what you get for reading BleacherReport.

Here's your current Committee on Infractions: http://web1.ncaa.org/committees/committees_roster.jsp?CommitteeName=1INFRACTION

Paul Dee is not a member of the committee. He is the former chair and his term coincided with the USC investigation. There's no conflict of interest on his part - he has simply been revealed to be a hypocrite.

June 12, 1995
An open letter to the president of Miami urges him to dismantle
his vaunted football program to salvage his school's reputation

Dear President Foote:

In 1939, University of Chicago president Robert Maynard Hutchins,
exasperated by the destructive influence of big-time football on his
campus, announced that his school, then a member of the Big Ten, would
no longer field a team. Hutchins's counterpart at the University of Arkansas,
William Fulbright, the future U.S. senator from Arkansas, applauded that
decision. Fulbright?the father of the woman who would become your
wife?congratulated Hutchins for his "courageous defense of the university
and its true function" and for standing up to the "worst excrescences of our
educational system" by doing away with a sport that had undermined
Chicago's academic reputation and made it hostage to those with no regard
for the rules.

It is time to do right by the words of your late father-in-law and heed the
example of the man he hailed 56 years ago. The revelations of the past few
months make it clear that the Miami football program has become a disease,
a cancer that is steadily devouring an institution that you have worked so
hard to rid of its image as Suntan U. The Hurricanes have won four national
championships during your 14 years as president, but they have done so at
incalculable cost to the university's reputation and integrity. You have gone
through three athletic directors. You are now on your fourth football coach.
But only one president has presided over this hurricane with a black eye.

It is time, President Foote, to fire the program.
