This **** is ridiculous... we're talking about Night Clubs and Free Dinners. Oh and an abortion.
UNC had players getting grades for classes that didnt exist and improper contact w/ sports agents.... 1 year bowl ban.
T. Pryor and OSU players were receiving thousands of dollars a WEEK and riding around in new cars week.... they had to payback $7,555 even though they received much more then that in cash and other benefits.... Ohio state gets only a 1 year Bowl Ban.
USCw Reggie Bush and members of his family received free airfare, free limousine rides, a car, and a rent-free home in San Diego, from sports agents) and they only received a 2 year bowl ban....
Miami has self imposed a bowl ban for 2 years for ex current players that received cash and other benefits that total a whopping $3,666.
Yeah some ppl snitched but on what of significance???....
A. Dubose and the Brown Brothers ate some bar-b-que at a mansion?? Wtf is that??
Kyle Wright snitched but not only was his testimony obtained improperly but we're only talking about $1,824 of "impermissible" benefits. So we got a grand total of $5,490 of impermissible benefits...STAGGERING. Now compare that amount to OSU.... and their amount is less than what Terrelle Pryor received on his own in one season. smh
Lol man Miami should sue even if the NCAA just gives us time served
I agree with you except for a few points.
We should never sue them. Lets just put this behind us because we don't want 100+ former Canes being subpoenaed.
Why? Because they will have to tell the truth and we don't need that.
I love the Canes. Been a fanatic for over 3 decades, and I'm pretty sure that a lot, if not the vast majority of the allegations are true.
Lets face reality. We don't self impose anything, much less 2 years of bowl bans, if we aren't positive we are guilty as ****.
We only got 1 year for committing massive federal fraud at an unprecedented level with the pell grant scam.
When that yahoo story came out, my first reaction was, "if only half of that is true, they are going to crucify us, with a slow burning fire underneath just to augment the pain." I never thought it was all bull****.
Now, what you think and what you can prove is a different story.
Right now, we have the orange and green wall of silence up and strong.
I'd like to keep it that way.
We've already served some of the stiffest penalties ever. All self imposed. We've plead mea culpa.
Lets just get it behind us and move forward. We continue to kick that hornet's nest, we will be in for a world of hurt.
