NCAA trying to sway public opinion back on their side by leaking the dollar amount, which makes the "violations" seem worse. They're ****ed that Shalala blasted them.
AP: NCAA's allegations against Miami say Shapiro provided at least $170K in benefits, including $56K to football players/recruits.

Its funny ..I'm curious as **** to what the NCAA is gonna say when the COI ask them " what is the burden of proof to which you substantiate these allegations? "and the NCAA say Nevin Shapiro and his credit card statements.
COI - "you mean the guy who is in jail for bilking people out of $930 million and has gone on record to say he WANTS to destroy the Miami Program. Also he said he had MILLIONS of dollars that he provided to Miami but you come here with only $170K?... "
COI - UM you've been transparent admitted to violations and imposed self imposed penalties including a championship in which a BCS bid was at stake. Since ALL of the coaches and players involved are gone, you have time served.
COI - The Coaches will be dealt with separately.

NCAA got no problem leaking their side of the story out there all the while trying to muzzle UM. We're engaged in a PR war right now.
1 more thing on the alleged 90k to Wilfork and Rolle...
I believe, if both players already declared, then it is irrelevant. They can be wined and dinned as much as possible at that point. Since there is no information or timeline, this is impossible to guess or speculate.

Should be fairly easy to figure out the Wilfork/Rolle thing. I don't have the original yahoo article anymore, but I'm pretty sure he gave month/year on when he gave them stuff. Anybody have that info?

• Shapiro also told federal agents in taped interviews that his former partner in Axcess Sports – then-NFL agent and current UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue – told him that he had paid Rolle approximately $40,000 while he was playing for the Hurricanes. According to a summary document acquired by Yahoo! Sports, Shapiro told federal agents that he also had a direct conversation with Rolle in which the player affirmed receiving the money from Huyghue and that he planned to repay it. Shapiro also told federal agents that current Miami staffer Sean Allen also had knowledge of Huyghue paying Rolle.
---How could this be corroborated if Allen's testimony is thrown out and huyghue denied everything and Rolle didn't talk... cmon NCAA
Corroborating accounts
• One source corroborated Shapiro’s account of the $50,000 cash payment, verifying they were on hand and witnessed the cash being taken from a box in a locked drawer [the source referred to it as Shapiro’s “drawer safe”] on the second floor of Shapiro’s home and delivered to Wilfork and his then-fiancée in a paper bag. The source described the cash as five stacks of $10,000, each bound in a bank ribbon.
---Don't know who snitched but in the NCAA view probably gives credence to the Rolle allegation...Plus supposedly it was during Wilfork's season.

This is the clearest sign yet that the NCAA has no intention of letting UM skate.

If the rest of the COI believes as Bobby Cremins does, then this is a very likely scenario.
