Miami booster Nevin Shapiro alleges he provided a handful of extra benefits to Vernon Carey during his junior and senior seasons. Among the benefits he claimed to have provided:
• Food, drinks and entertainment at Shapiro’s $2.7 million Miami Beach home.

• Entertainment on Shapiro’s $1.6 million yacht.

Corroborating accounts

• Yahoo! Sports has acquired a photo of Carey sleeping on Shapiro’s yacht during a fishing trip in the summer of 2003.

In Shapiro’s words

• “Vernon Carey was first introduced to me, he came to my house with Bryant McKinnie. Bryant McKinnie was already a pro. Miami had just won the Rose Bowl [following the 2001 season], so yeah, he was going into his junior year.”

• “He was part of a few events, private events. He wasn’t a club guy so much. But he was at my friend Mark Levinson’s bachelor party.”

Bogus in the sense that the guy didn't buy him a car or a house, it doesn't seem like letting a guy sleep on your yacht should be a crime.

I've heard about that guy wining & dining players in the past ... don't believe anything came of it.

I think the problem is going to be payola, moolah, & benjamins.

Cash is the vilest of four-letter words to the NCAA .. gotta keep it clean so they can be millionaires on the backs of kids.

The dang politicians get free tickets & sports junkets out the wazoo ... NCAA needs to put them on probation too!! Limit the number of politicians a city can have for 3 years!! lol

Edit: Look at PFT ... alot of cash changing hands!! That's the issue!!
