Miami Hurricanes To Get Death Penalty?

HOW TO RECRUIT A BYU COUGAR

WELCOME TO

How this would affect the rest of the ACC warrants consideration, but I still have to ask: Doesn't it set horrible precedent if a school deserves the death penalty (lets assume Miami does) and the only thing that stops the NCAA from handing it down is the fact that they dont want to damage the other schools in the conference? You may as well go tell every school from a BCS conference that they can cheat their asses off because the system is now officially too big to let them fail.

If the Hurricanes deserve the death penalty, the NCAA should swallow hard and do the right thing. It will help out the game leaps and bounds in the long run. Perhaps there's a way that the other schools in the conference can be compensated for missed games against Miami, etc. I really don't even know if that could be done, but I think anything is better than simply side-stepping the problem because it's convenient.

You guys realize that while the Yahoo! article had some good points, a lot of that stuff they have no way of proving and their main source is a man going to jail because his main skill was being able to scheme rich and presumably smart people out of their money. Regardless, read this article.

https://allabouttheu.wordpress.com/...ile-often-failing-to-substantiate-his-claims/

Yes, it is from a Miami fan, but it's very well written out and has been sent out by Jason Whitlock, Dan Lebatard and several other national authors. It even got the main author of the Yahoo! story (Chris Robinson) to write him an email and say that he wanted to get in contact with him to further discuss the article. So please, before making any more judgemants from whatever Yahoo! and ESPN are saying, read this article.


Oh yeah, and the abortion thing? Pure, and total classess journalism. There is no way to substantiate that claim and in absolutely no court of law would that be allowed. That dumbass didn't even know if the girl was pregnant (if the story is true) and how are we honestly supposed to believe that the stripper/prostitute knew for sure that it was the players baby because obviously he was the only guy she slept with recently because she has strong morals. (sarcasm). Did Miami **** up? Absolutely. Was it as bad as everybody thinks it is? Absolutely not.

The article was written by a Miami apologist who doesn't even really qualify as a journalist IMO. Hard to take any of it seriously considering that. Not only that, Lebatard and Whitlock are both huge hacks and Lebatard is based out of Miami so I could easily see him being swayed one way or another. You say it's hard to prove all of the allegations and finish up your post by saying that what Miami has done is not as bad as everybody thinks.

I can't figure out if you're a Miami fan or what. Regardless if abortions, and dinners at Japanese steak houses can be proven, etc. it seems as if there's plenty of evidence to support the allegations of paying players and how it stems back over a LONG period of time. Considering Miami's past history, I don't think people are overreacting.

I think it is just time to let these organizations take the fall. The government should have let the banks fall apart and the auto industry. Miami should be done, period, as far as sports is concerned. Get these untouchables to grow up and accept some ****ing responsibility for once.

Miami Hurricanes football helps the economy though.

He's a Miami apologist because he said that the allegations may be true, but Yahoo! was wrong in stating 70 players when half the time the only corroborating source was a career criminal. So far it looks like Miami is going to get hurt because of 12-15 players. 12-15 players out of 70 is not a good ratio and it's irresponsible journalism. If you would actually research the case you mind find some discrepancies. Like the fact that because of that Miami "apologists" Charles Robinson went and edited his article 2 more times to fix his "mistakes". Now tell me, is that something a real journalist would do? Is it right that after 11 months of pain staking research he had to go and change his article because some guy who can't even qualify as a journalist (he doesn't consider himself one either btw) found problems with his article?

I give Shannon mad props here though. From the first day he was hired, he told his players to stay clear of this scumbag and then continued to harp on this, even having people follow the guy or athletes to see if they were communicating at all or something. Good for Shannon for being a stand-up guy in this day and age. At least somewhat anyway.

Shannon was a stand up guy? Is Miami that corrupt? FOURTEEN of his players may be kicked out of school next week for their dealings with Shapiro. Only a Miami fan can say Shannon is a stand up guy. Stand up guys don't lose almost a starting 22 to violations. Sorry.

By all accounts from EVERYBODY Shannon hated Napiro, wouldn't speak to him, had nothing to do with him, told his staff that if they dealt with him that he would fire them and warned his players to stay away from him. Continue to speak from ignorance though.

Shapiro is a deuche. I bet even the players taking his money didn't like him. The fact is, fourteen of Shannon's players were involved with this guy. That is ONE IN FIVE of is players. ONE IN FIVE. Tell me how Shannon runs a clean program with 20% of his players being involved with this guy. Classic. Whittingham is a stand-up guy. His players don't get hookers from boosters. Mendenhall is a stand up guy, and his players don't get hookers from boosters. Shannon has 1 in five players getting hookers from boosters and he is a stand up guy? That is rich.

Again, keep speaking from ignorance.

What do you want Shannon to do Green? You do realize that he can't be around every single player 24/7 right? I don't think you understand how different the culture in Miami is different than the culture at Utah or BYU....I mean seriously, do you know anything about South Beach? Of course, if I remember right, you're the same guy who thought that Brandon Knight was just as good as Kyrie Irving, so that shows the extent of your sports knowledge.
