Everyone says stuff about the uncertainty of the football program. Do we just have blinders on because we are fans or are all the writers and other teams fans going just off the yahoo article?
Ive been thinking the exact same way. Its like everyone who just heard about the scandal on ESPN thinks were getting the death penalty..
Well there is certainly uncertainty. I think most everyone realizes the death penalty is not coming, but if there is one thing the NCAA has shown, it's its total lack of consistency when handing out judgments. Hopefully, I think, we end up on the lighter side, but I can certainly understand a recruit that is considering multiple schools to go elsewhere with the unknowns at Miami right now.
True.
boise st.: In its statement, the NCAA said, "Boise State failed to establish an adequate compliance system to report NCAA rules violations with regard to impermissible housing, transportation and other benefits to prospective and enrolled student-athletes. The university failed to provide adequate rules education and training to staff members to ensure compliance.
"In addition, the university failed to monitor its program to deter, find and report instances of NCAA violations to the NCAA."

MIAMI was conned by a convicted felon. And the ncaa has agreed that MIAMI has one of the most strict compliance offices in the country.
alabama is on probation NOW: The NCAA has levied a three-year probation against the University of Alabama athletic department and forced the school’s football team to vacate 21 past victories as punishment for a wide-scale scandal involving student-athletes and textbooks.
More than 200 student-athletes representing 16 of the school’s 17 sanctioned sports were involved in the case, most of them unwittingly. However, the NCAA did identify 22 individuals as “intentional wrongdoers,†who knowingly committed violations. . . . According to the NCAA’s official report, the university failed to adequately monitor these reports, which showed that some students had charged academic items to their accounts on behalf of their girlfriends, friends and other acquaintances.
This was the case for many of the 22 intentional wrongdoers, some of whom rang up charges in excess of $3,000.
NOTE: They are repeat offenders.
An investigation that went back to fall of 2005 found that approximately $40,000 worth of material was obtained illegally, though $21,950 of that "obtained by student-athletes who were aware they were receiving impermissible benefits," the NCAA said.
"The value of the impermissible benefit obtained by these intentional wrongdoers ranged from a low of $32.30 by a women's track student-athlete to a high of $3,947.19 by a football student-athlete," the NCAA's report said. "The committee noted that the four highest amounts ($3,947.19, $3,344.10, $3,061.38 and $2,714.62) were obtained by football student-athletes."

There were ZERO scholarship loses.
MIAMI has been transparent and fully cooperative. And the amount of money was not as nearly as much as these. We'll see though.
