Miami Is Done

Investigated for what? Cash?

utmoody10 · 08-16-11, 07:33 PM

"In 100 hours of jailhouse interviews during Yahoo! Sports’ 11-month investigation, Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro described a sustained, eight-year run of rampant NCAA rule-breaking, some of it with the knowledge or direct participation of at least seven coaches from the Miami football and basketball programs. At a cost that Shapiro estimates in the millions of dollars, he said his benefits to athletes included but were not limited to cash, prostitutes, entertainment in his multimillion-dollar homes and yacht, paid trips to high-end restaurants and nightclubs, jewelry, bounties for on-field play (including bounties for injuring opposing players), travel and, on one occasion, an abortion."

The booster, serving 20 years for his actions in a $930M Ponzi scheme, is at the center of one of the biggest scandals in college history.

Wow, good atricle. He was living quite a life. But miami is toast, wish that would happen in texass

frankthetank · 08-17-11, 04:45 AM

those pics make me want to scissor kick that whigger in the face

darrell74 · 08-17-11, 11:39 AM

Wow!!!!
Ohio State just got out-grease-balled, exponentially.

I'm so happy those jack-asses are getting their 'house of retards' torn down.
Good riddance!!!

The Bet Master · 08-17-11, 12:04 PM

Ohio States total gifts is about $7,000, and that was what they got for selling their own Items. This guy probably spent that much on these players for prostitutes on a normal Wednesday without getting anything but "friendship" in return. I'm hearing comparisons to the Ohio State scandal on ESPN and just shaking my head.

Maryland is at +6 at the Hilton now. Vegas players should jump on this, before the line comes crashing down, like it always does when this stuff hits the fan. Golden is really pissed off that no one told him about this before he signed on as the new H.C. That has to affect his coaching.

Did most other books take it down? That's ridiculous that they still have that line up.

mwgriffin · 08-17-11, 12:56 PM

where is the death penalty line - i give it -300 not death penalty, +240 death penalty, -10000 big ass sanctions

lmfao @ U of M - Glad it happened to them - go noles!

I'm telling ya man, must be an offshore thing. Out here you can almost always find a line on anything. Reason # 1,000,001 why living in Vegas is beyond fantastic

fbeast12 · 08-17-11, 09:58 PM

CBASS · 08-17-11, 11:42 PM

Fuk Nevin Shapiro's BI-azz! He is just an inmate, not a convict. He is a punk azz sellout who violated the code in a major way. He will get his soon.....

LT Profits · 08-18-11, 01:43 AM

They don't even know how to cheat right, never going to an ACC Championship Game since joining the conference 10 years ago.

gtboy · 08-18-11, 08:31 AM

the guy is right to blow the whistle. shit like this needs to stop. we all want to enjoy a good, fair and honest game. At least I do. This is going to clean up the shit and within 5 years we r going to have an HONEST system. i hope. Just like mlb. its getting cleaner now.

jetsjets1028 · 08-18-11, 11:25 AM

yes miami is whether is pro or college

thetrinity · 08-19-11, 08:03 AM

hopefully this wannabe thug shapiro gets a taste of jailhouse justice from an incarcerated fan of the u. using young kids on other peoples dime on a lame attempt to be important. supposedly he had floor seats to the heat and was at shaqs birthday party and went yachting with dwayne wade. social climbing scumbag.

i saw an interview where he said something to the effect that "miami football players discarded me when they got to the pros. i was like a used friend." no kidding they didnt wanna hang out with a 40 yr old dbag when they could afford the hookers themselves

what a surprise.

i knew some boosters, and they are all hanger-ons living vicariously through these kids. maybe they arent breaking rules like him, but they need to realize that they arent in college anymore and should grow up.

Hopefully he gets justice?!?! Seriously man...have you seen this guy?!?!?! Dude is a 130lb white-wanna-be thug, going to FEDERAL prison.

As long as you consider receiving a human booster shot froma dude named Molly on a daily basis justice (and based on your comment I'm betting you do), then trust me man, Shapiro will be receiving a whole lot of "justice" during his stay in jail...if ya know what I mean.

mangina11 · 08-20-11, 10:35 AM

Justice will be served..... probably by a guy names Justice

Sunde91 · 08-30-11, 08:40 PM

Only 3 players will miss more than 1 game, so Harris and 4 others will be ready to go against OSU. http://sports.yahoo.com/investigatio...ensions_083011

Miami should be favored over them, if not then a superb dog.

Miami comes off bye week for its home opener with all focus to be on OSU, which will be a rallying game for the season. Miami wins and almost ensures OSU Under 9 wins

The Bet Master · 08-30-11, 09:28 PM

Good luck with that. They still lost 2 key defensive players. We'll see how they do starting their first game against a team that has already played 2. Should be a nice Buckeye environment as well.
