Link: NCAA eyes booster's claims Miami players took cash

This line ought to peak some interest...."One source added that the secondary focus of the look was on the recruiting methods of at least three SEC schools and a number of ACC schools in the area". If I remember correctly, wasn' that LSU, *U, and Tenn?

Miami source on severity of what's going to hit the fan at UM. "Between a 1 & 10, it's a 10."

Any team that has recruited the South Florida area with very good results, were up against tough competition. That doesn't say you had to cheat to get players from there, but it will probably put you under suspicion.
 
Yahoo! (Wetzel, Robinson, and the like) are legit. They investigated this thing almost a year before the story broke. Here's their story. AMAZING revelations here

[h=1]Renegade Miami football booster spells out illicit benefits to players[/h]
In 100 hours of jailhouse interviews during Yahoo! Sports’ 11-month investigation, former 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.

Also among the revelations were damning details of Shapiro’s co-ownership of a sports agency – Axcess Sports & Entertainment – for nearly his entire tenure as a Hurricanes booster. The same agency that signed two first-round picks from Miami, Vince Wilfork and Jon Beason, and recruited dozens of others while Shapiro was allegedly providing cash and benefits to players. In interviews with federal prosecutors, Shapiro said many of those same players were also being funneled cash and benefits by his partner at Axcess, then-NFL agent and current UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue. Shapiro said he also made payments on behalf of Axcess, including a $50,000 lump sum to Wilfork, as a recruiting tool for the agency.

I haven't read the entire article but it seems most of this took place even before the tenure of Coach Randy Shannon. I know when he took over he said a lot of things in the program needed to be cleaned up such as guns and outside influences. Someone mentioned our new O-line coach but I think much of this took place before he was hired at Miami to replace Art Kehoe.

Correction.....I see where they were named. Ugh
 
You guys get this doesnt affect UA right, Just the coaches names who may be looking for jobs. No reason to feel bad about it, those violations were at the U not UA.
 
For an apparent program insider like him to sing like this, somebody at Miami must have ticked this Shapiro guy off big time.
