The Miami president lately has been greeting every new shred of Miami sleaze with her version of fireside chats from her office. Nice touch. Where exactly is that bunker she is speaking from?
Doesn't matter. Shizzle's about to get real. The NCAA suspended eight Miami players Tuesday for varying amounts of time (one to six games) in the scandal's latest chapter. But the most significant thing to come out of that announcement was a name in the first paragraph.
It may wait months or even years for the final verdict but it's clear the NCAA is well on its way to discovering everything Yahoo reported
You guys do realize that this isn't a final NCAA ruling, right? They are investigating allegations going back a decade and they have already found one guy to have taken $1,200...
I predict 30 scholarships and a 3 year postseason ban
Now we play the waiting game with the NCAA infractions committee. Definitely won't know anything soon...probably after the season but I think we'll have a better indication once the NCAA rules on the North Carolina investigation.
Miami might be guilty, but it's college football whose image is truly tarnished here.

The view from a Michigan fan is that given the length of suspensions, at this point the NCAA has little evidence of serious wrong doing on the players part. This was never going to be a death penalty situation but I am sure Canes fans were concerned based on the checkered past of the program. My guess is that those fans will gladly accept penalties at about the USC level given what they were concerned would happen.
That said, I think we all suspected the NCAA would be hard pressed to find anything involving current players. The bigger concern has to be that they are going back 10 years, that coaches and administrators are the root of the problem and that the NCAA may be looking to hang a program within an inch of it's life sending a message to other programs. It sucks for the program being used for that but given the Canes past, it should not be a surprise.
They can go back as long as they like. All they're going to find is the same petty stuff they're finding now. Sorry haters (not you Ted), it's nobody's fault but your own you fell for the sensationalism and bought into the fabricated hype of prostitutes and abortions and were hoping for stiff penalties, when it's nothing more than a midget who tried to buy friends by taking them out for drinks and dinner.
As for our past, the Pell Grant scandal was 20 times worse than this. Uncle Luke was worse than this. He was actually handing out cash, although with good intentions, unlike Shapiro, who was pretty much a pedophile trying to take advantage of kids by wining and dining them because he couldn't find any real friends.

Unfortunately what is in the present is always the worst. What really bothers me as a fan is that we all agree the system is broken except the wizards running the NCAA. My fear is that they are going to make an example out of someone and that MAY be the Canes, though I thought they would be harder on Ohio State. Somebody convince me they dont play favorites.
