COI wants to shut Miami up

Miami just needs to keep pushing for a settlement, whether it's made puclic or not. It would be to the benefit of both that they agree and move on from this mess, although I'm almost certain the NCAA has an agenda against Miami.

It's very obvious that the fake investigators were prepared to do anything to make a case against UM. Problem now for them is that they've been exposed, and the ONLY smart play left for them is to make this go away. Doesn't matter what they say publicly at this point.
 
I think a self-imposed bowl ban actually should carry more weight than an NCAA ban. When the NCAA bans you, you don't even have to become bowl eligible to satisfy that sanction. At least UM was bowl eligible when they self-imposed.
 
What I find interesting is that the rule cited by the NCAA does not even appear to apply at all. "The bylaw reads: '... an institution and any individual subject to NCAA rules involved in a case shall treat that case under inquiry by the enforcement staff... as confidential.'" The bylaw appears to apply only the those being investigated and then only during the investigation phase. presumably to protect the investigation and avoid tainting sources of information. The article hints around this point, but does not make it.

There are a few ways to read the comment and the desire for quiet on the public relations front. To me, it is good that the NCAA has seen the backlash it so far has received. Hopefully, that backlash minimizes any inclination on the NCAA's part to expose itself to more of the same. At a minimum, the hope is that it will force the COI to be very careful in its review of the "evidence" to assure that anything on which it relies not only is sufficiently corroborated, but is sufficient to withstand the public scrutiny that likely will follow. That public relations environment did not raise the same concern in connection with PSU (definitely not) and USC (as I recall) and that could have impacted the findings and the severity of the sanctions.
 
This is perfect for Donna. You want us to shut up and go away, then sit with us give us our time served and we will back off. If not kiss my a$$ and lets watch you burn. If you give us more punishment (outside of a small amount of scholarships) I'm running with this all the way. Try and give us more for talking then its going to go even further. NCAA you cant break laws (also) and expect nothing to happen.

Yep. You nailed it. They're making up more rules as they go = more fodder for the fraud case if they try to hammer us. Is there a requirement for any attorney working at the NCAA to be the absolute fcking worse lawyers with no experience whatsoever? Are they even required to have a bar license in any state?
 
What talented, brilliant lawyer is going to take his talents to Indianapolis, Indiana to work for an organization that has no subpoena power? Seriously it's the bottom of the barrel who they have on staff in terms of legal council.
