It does not surprise me at all that The U is in trouble. That football program always seems like a recipe for disaster. I guess what else I realized from this story, when Yahoo sports comes snooping around your program your in some serious trouble.
In other news, the sun rose in the east today.
Makes you wonder if someone affiliated with the U did Shapiro wrong cause he's spilling his guts about every misdeed he was ever a part of. If he was such a great booster, wouldn't he keep his mouth shut?
When your in jail for a Ponzi scheme? I would imagine some money is changing hands here in exchange for information.
Shapiro’s chief reason for blowing the whistle? Being abandoned by many of the athletes he helped, when he believed he had forged legitimate friendships with them.

I think he called on several of his "friends" for help during his trial for bail etc and they weren't very helpful....he also appears to be working on some type of a book project/deal.... it may also be part of his legal situation too....
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails.

If the NCAA doesn't issue the death penalty here they never will again. At least not until Cleveland State has a football team.
The best description I heard on this versus recent transgressions of OSU, Boise, Alabama, etc
They were doing 70 MPH in a 65, Miami flew past them doing 130 in a Ferrari flipping the bird at cops.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Yahoo has an entire section devoted to this story
Holy crap, this sounds really bad for Miami and it appears he's got all the proof the NCAA needs too. Good luck Hurricanes.
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
Wow. Now that is how you break the rules.
I love the Devin Hester quote where he said "He doesn't know the guy", yet there are two personalized autographed photos and at least 3 pictures of them together in small groups and clubs and restaurants.
The problem is the guys who received the improper benefits and the coaches who let it go are long gone. It would suck to be an incoming freshman or a soph who had nothing to do with these payments but are going to get hammered.
This. Though that didn't stop the NCAA in regards to SMU.
Yeah, this is the very definition of dirty. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Emmert's NCAA.
SMU was different in that the payoffs could be traced to the University, not just boosters and their recruits had a paper trail--yes signed contracts of what they were to receive. It was over the top
