Miami Heat-- the News Gets Worse

[Mexmustang]

--Here in Miami on business, found the local sport channel, home of the "U". Local talk show is tearing into everyone involved.

The President of the University is shown in several pictures with booster.

The University was forced to return all financial gifts to booster's creditors (clawback on Ponzi scheme.

Players maybe forced to face clawback claims personally.

This is the third major U of M alumn and donor in five years caught in Ponzi scheme--The U has had to face this previously with large donors.

Former AD, now Chairman of NCAA compliance committee up to his eyeballs in it. Several pictures, dinners and outings with donor.

A fight between booster and others in the press box during a game was patched up by AD and President years ago.

University president and atheltic director did nothing but protect the booster and
never attempted to seperate the booster from the players--his presence was obvious to anyone close to the program

University compliance officer made a vigorous written report several years ago and to the then AD and current President together they did nothing!

New Missouri basketball coach also directly involved in picture and expense receipts, former Miami basketball coach may loose new job before he coaches first game at Missouri.

No one, absoultely no one is denying the story of the convicted felon and 72 players that benefited--10-11 currently on the roster. Hard to believe they are considering his story credible.

Death penalty discussed, but the U will probably not get it! The actually used the term, "probably will not get it" But, some actually felt it was possible

Apparently everyone at the top of the university is implicated by not seperating the booster from the players--everyone seems to have known what was going on. I have the sense the Miami is a much smaller city than Dallas in terms of what's going on, whose in the clubs, what players are up to, etc.

This was all in 15 minutes of listening to the radio show. [deleted] Vitale is calling for everyone's head at the school--except of course, John Caliperi the former Memphis and now U of K basketball coach and his close friend.

Oh goodness, I wonder what the NCAA will do..

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

[aloud]
Captain Renault: Everybody out at once!

from all accounts this was not just a yelling match, Shapiro tried to knock him out.

Stallion, in my 15 minutes of fame, er listening to the program, it was my impression that it had to do with improper contact, money, parties and favors, but, nothing to do with the press box incident. Some callers actually excused the President because her primary purspose in life is to raise money and she should be forgiven for having ignored the report because he was also giving to the university.

Remember this was an AM sports talk show, but given the guests they welcomed, it muct be significantly better than the Ticket (which isn't saying much), but how accurate this was I can only guess.

Checked into my hotel and asked the young bartender if he knew anthing about what was going on--I found out that the hotel was 15 minutes from the U. His reaction was this booster was one of many! He went on to tell tales of the "good old days". In college he was working in a mall next to the university selling swimsuits and sportswear--the boys from the U used to come on Fridays with large envelopes of cash and buy their clothing--one was a high school classmate that was named in the article--he said the envelope contained at least two to three thousand dollars in cash and seemed to appear each Friday.

Apparently in Miami this news has been out for almost a year, but now that their laundry is being aired on Yahoo Sports and ESPN the ----is hitting the fan.

If they do get the penalty, maybe the NCAA will give ole SMU a week head start to recruit their departing players--only fair.

I really feel sorry for their new coach, he is well liked and was putting together a great class. I was told that their former coach was actually fired last October when the report was first made to the univesity, but I can't remember that it happened that way or at that time.

LOVE the "SMUer"

Miami will not get what they SO should get... In Christ Death is OVER.
But remember to live your life by ten simple rules!!!!
Peace, Love and kick the aggie$ rump.
