The NCAA will be committing suicide by not dropping this investigation and clearing UM in June. Donna will drop the hammer either way.

I think if we file papers in court, it would put a serious stop to the ncaa and make them think....

What does this even mean?

what does anything that guy post mean? he just dribbles all over this forum.

It isn't him, its everyone on the site.

I have never seen a porster reply to himself in a quoted post. Place always amazes me.

He has several tinfoil hats.

Robinson paid the Shapiro for the story and pictures that SI would not buy.Robinson now is the key witness to collaborate all of Shapiro s allegations.Shapiro alleges, Robinson writes about it ,and fiction becomes fact for the NCAA.Robinson is another Shapiro victim because he has loss all credibility as a journalist after the Yahoo article.

Wait, so everything Robinson would testify to is just hearsay from Shapiro? And that's the "corroboration" now? . . . . HAHAHA

Yes, Robinson could likely only say that NS said xyz. Not that xyz actually occurred.

Robinson is some corny White tool and I doubt he was at the used appliance store that delivered the washer/dryer to Wilfork. Maybe he actually performed the abortion and received payment....oh wait that is not against an NCAA bylaw.

Robinson made it harder by sensationalizing everything.
 
At the heart of this though, is the NCAA is charging LOIC, when it was just players taking some benefits and a couple of assistant coaches, who'd been through the mandatory training and even warned in some cases to stay away from Shapiro, and that was before the Ponzi scheme was exposed. Shapiro managed to hurt Miami, Robinson, and the NCAA. This is not the usual rogue booster who loves his team and breaks the rules, which is why the everyone has been burned. He's has a vendetta against the players, and was going to write a tell-all book to make money.

Worst case, even if the Wilfork and Rolle did get the money Shapiro said he gave them, that is still not LOIC.

NCAA response to UM has omissions, faulty logic; Dolphins, Heat chatter
SUNDAY BUZZ COLUMN

News and views on the NCAA’s UM investigation:

### What stood out about the enforcement staff’s response to UM’s motion to dismiss were glaring omissions and in some cases, dubious defense, of its objectionable conduct.

As UM’s motion asserted, 20 of the NCAA’s allegations against UM are “without any corroboration from involved parties other than Nevin Shapiro…. Many were denied by involved former student athletes… If Shapiro described a given allegation on more than one occasion, they considered it… self-corroboration and included the allegation in the notice.”

One of those, we hear: Shapiro giving $50,000 to Vince Wilfork. Also, the NCAA asserts 48 players received VIP access and beverage services from Shapiro; UM says there’s corroborating evidence for only four.

What’s more, “the enforcement staff also included several allegations that were only substantiated by convicted ex-felon Mimi Menoscal, Shapiro’s ex-girlfriend. Menoscal in September 2010 plead guilty to stealing at least $380,000 by running a sham wholesale shipping company that kept up-front payments without ever shipping any products.”

So what did NCAA interim vice president of enforcement Jonathan Duncan say about any of this in his response? Nothing, beyond claiming this “is an improper time” to debate Shapiro’s credibility. Expect Shapiro’s credibility to be a major focus of UM’s defense in its mid-June hearing.

### Amazingly, Duncan gave no indication he found anything objectionable with since-fired investigator Ameen Najjar writing a letter on Shapiro’s behalf to his sentencing judge before the NCAA interviewed anyone else.

Duncan said even though the letter “could be seen as vouching for Shapiro’s credibility, the enforcement staff did not assume that information Shapiro reported was truthful.” Then why did the NCAA charge UM with 20 uncorroborated allegations? And why did Najjar write the letter?

### When an interviewee says something wrong, the NCAA usually alleges dishonesty. But when an NCAA investigator does it, it’s passed off as an honest mistake.

Consider investigator Abigail Grantstein, who was fired because her boyfriend told somebody on a plane last summer that she said she was “going to get” UCLA’s Shabazz Muhammad and that he wouldn’t play, even before she received any evidence.

Here's how Grantstein tainted the UM case: Former assistant basketball coach Jake Morton told the NCAA that he repaid a $5000 loan to Shapiro. But Grantstein told Frank Haith that Morton said that Morton delivered $10,000 in cash to Shapiro’s mother’s house in June 2010. When Haith questioned that, puzzled that Morton would say such a thing, Grantstein repeated the misinformation.

Morton said no such thing, and Grantstein’s misstatement was significant, because $10,000 was the figure that Shapiro alleged he paid Morton to ensure DeQuan Jones’ commitment – a claim the NCAA tried to prove but couldn’t. Grantstein also told Haith that Shapiro’s former bodyguard made the same $10,000 claim, even though Sanchez never told the NCAA that and the comment was impermissibly obtained.

Duncan conveniently didn’t mention the Sanchez comment in his response and excused Grantstein’s “misstatement” partly because it didn’t elicit confessions from Haith.

And consider this: Haith told the NCAA that Morton did not talk to him about his relationship with Shapiro. Two weeks later, investigator Brynna Barnhart told Morton: “I’ll be honest, Haith put a lot of the relationship between the men’s basketball program and Nevin on you… that you’re the one who kind of brought Nevin into the program.”
Duncan defended Barnhart too, saying Haith changed part of his story. But Haith never said what Barnhart attributed to him. Instead, Haith said UM’s development staff introduced Shapiro to the program.

### Duncan also defended Stephanie Hannah, assigned to the UM investigation after Najjar was fired, even though she continued to do what Najjar was doing: paying Shapiro’s attorney and collaborating with her to try to get people under oath who didn’t want to speak to the NCAA.

Duncan said Hannah thought this had been approved. What he should be asking is this: Why wouldn’t one of the investigators realize such an arrangement was improper and should be discussed with supervisors? Hannah “either acted in bad faith or was incompetent,” UM says.
### Duncan said the NCAA planned to interview former UM athletic director Paul Dee last June --- 15 months after the investigation started – but didn’t know he was ill. That’s not valid. It was widely known around UM that Dee, who died last May, had throat and tongue cancer and was having trouble speaking.

### Long-time investigator Wayne Black tells us Dee hired him to look into Shapiro several years ago “when no one had heard of the guy.” But sources said Black worked on the case only a few days and found nothing of great concern. Black wanted to tell us more, but UM said he couldn’t.

### Sources say neither Al Golden, Michael Barrow nor any current football staffers are accused of wrongdoing in the Notice of Allegations, Yahoo incorrectly accused both of violations.

### Outrageous: The NCAA never told UM about Najjar’s letter to Shapiro’s judge. UM found out when the Associated Press got it from Perez’s Florida Bar complaint.

### UM is challenging the NCAA using Shapiro’s photos with players as evidence, saying they are undated and aren’t proof of rules violations.
### The NCAA plans to make an issue of its claim that Haith changed part of his story the second time he interviewed.

### Shapiro once gave Najjar a flow chart with 16 schools affected by his violations. Shapiro alleged some committed violations; others signed players that Shapiro said UM improperly recruited.

Barry made no mention of the NCAA's failure to address UM's charge that the NCAA had agreed to conduct a joint investigation and then went behind UM's back in violation of that agreement. I found that significant when one of the principal questions out there now is the good faith and credibility of the NCAA itself.
 
At the heart of this though, is the NCAA is charging LOIC, when it was just players taking some benefits and a couple of assistant coaches, who'd been through the mandatory training and even warned in some cases to stay away from Shapiro, and that was before the Ponzi scheme was exposed. Shapiro managed to hurt Miami, Robinson, and the NCAA. This is not the usual rogue booster who loves his team and breaks the rules, which is why the everyone has been burned. He's has a vendetta against the players, and was going to write a tell-all book to make money.

Worst case, even if the Wilfork and Rolle did get the money Shapiro said he gave them, that is still not LOIC.

"journalists" not doing their job are not getting hurt by someone else, they are hurting themselves. he chose not to verify anything independently. he chose to run the story that would potentially slander dozens of people and an institution without due diligence. he deserves anything he got/gets personally and professionally for his negligence as a result, the least of which should include a loss of credibility as a journalist, and a suit from the individuals who's names were aired that could not be corroborated.

Correct. Robinson is not a victim of Shapiro, Robinson is just a joke who does't understand his job. I remember he claimed he went out an attempted to verify claims my "messaging people on facebook." Yellow journalism at its finest.

I wonder if that's where they're saying that Shapiro's statements were corroborated (by Robinson), and Miami is saying, "No . . . fcktards . . . that is just using Shapiro's statements to corroborate Shapiro."
 
Robinson really needs to be raked over the coals. His sensationalistic piece caused all sorts of damage (PR disaster, fuel for the UM is corrupt theory that has floated around since the 80s, significant adverse recruiting effects, suspensions and other self-imposed sanctions). that guy and Yahoo really deserve to be exposed by a national publication.
 
Yeah, I'm really sure that Robinson was out on da skreets corroborating everything that Shapiro said. he tracked down the stripper who had an abortion, found the bag man that dropped the $50K in brown paper bags on Wilfork's doorstep, etc

Robinson is a POS hack ******. I hope he rots. he will get whats coming to him

I have no idea but that wouldn't surprise me if that happened.
