The charges are mainly coming from a dude in jail though, so you have to take them with a grain of salt until he gets some backup.

Maybe, but if he is right on just one of his many, many, allegations the U is in serious trouble.

There appears to be significant documentation to support the allegations. Already current assistant coach's on other programs who coached recently at the U have indicated very questionable actions have happened. Not to mention the huge paper trail.

This situation could get very nasty, not only for Miami but for other programs including Florida and Alabama.

Two coaches at Bama, One coach and two players at UF, one player at UGA

This thing is getting ugly fast. Did Miami not even have a compliance department through all that? Wow is all I can say, and I dam sure hope none of this splatters on the Gators, but we will see what happens.

And Chip Kelly should thank the Canes too, this should help gloss over his player issues.

The joker once tried to pick a fight with Miami's compliance officer.

BTW- Paul Dee (Miami's AD) was the chairman of the NCAA???s committee on infractions during the USC ruling

The U needs to get the Death penalty ... or the NCAA is a farce.

Not close...unless the U has prior (like in the last 3 years) of the same issues and continued paying.

SMU's issue was that even when the NCAA banged on them once, they kept paying players.

The U was under probation until Feb. 27, 2008 they qualify as a repeat violator.
Statute of limitations goes out the window for willful misconduct if coaches were involved it's gonna be considered willful and they can go right back to 2001.

OK, work has been consuming all of my time of late, so, I need mt friends to FNmail me when and where the inevitable Sandy-SVT face-off occurs. I suspect it may carry over many days and threads. Please, keep me posted. Thanks.

OK, here's the thing... Where I care that the tOSU band gets support in the event of CFB death (my cousin's married to a tOSU music prof), I don't give two shakes of a pelican tail feather about the Miami band. Sorry band geeks. If death comes a visitin', may you all get picked up by other schools. No hard feelings.

TBDBITL will survive along with the football team, TM. May they both continue "Across the Field."

Paul Dee (ex-Miami AD and chairman of the committe that investigated and sanctioned USC):
???USC maybe didn't know but they should have known???

Paul Dee's response yesterday to Miami infractions:
"the things you can control are the things you have your hands on -- like grades, discipline on campus, financial aid. But when you get further out, when you get to a booster who has decided to do something inappropriate, you have less control, because they are out in the environment and we're not there."

I don't know who's more of a hypocrite, Paul Dee for slamming USC on their infractions while the school he was AD for was doing far far worse or the NCAA for making him the chairman for a committee on investigating infractions. Particularly since Dee was also the AD at Miami in 1995 when Miami was sanctioned for infractions similar to what they're being accused of now.

"Under Dee's watch, the University of Miami athletic program was sanctioned by the NCAA in 1995. Eighty students, 57 of whom were football players, falsified their Pell Grant applications, illegally securing more than $220,000 in federal grant money. Federal officials described the scam as "perhaps the largest centralized fraud ... ever committed in the history of the Pell Grant program." Moreover, the University provided over $400,000 worth of other, improper payments to Miami football players. The NCAA also ruled that the University failed to wholly implement its drug-testing program, and permitted three football student-athletes to compete without being subject to the required disciplinary measures specified in the policy."

If SC's illegal aid to 2 players got them docked 30 scholarships and a bowl ban,

For a smart guy from a smart school, you don't care much for facts. The 30 schollies and bowl ban on the football program didn't involve illegal aid by USC (or anyone representing USC) to any players. In fact, only one football player was ever mentioned.

And your relief that Miami gets USC off the hook is crap. USC moved on a long time ago. This is just your chance to drag it back through the mud one more time. Nice.

Since he can't investigate himself, maybe the NCAA will hire unemployed Mike Garrett to chair the Infractions Committee for the Miami investigation.
