Something to potentially keep an eye on

****. It's a shame someone brings info that is backed up by a report, has names surrounding the program and is just giving a heads up of something to watch. Not a way to get someone to share info in the future as it comes available.

And how do we know this is credible?? We've had enough trolls around here lately, just back it up with some credible evidence that's all and I'll gladly eat crow. Anyone can throw names out...I believe someone did that named Shapiro

Things are going good around here, the program is doing great and of course here comes coincidently someone saying Miami is connected with Johnny Manziel breaking NCAA rules when we are on the cusp of finding out our penalties.
 
With the spotlight we have had on us.......I highly, HIGHLY doubt that we see anything come down from this that would bite us.
 
Has zero to do with the University of Miami ...

everything that goes on in Miami or near the city of Miami does not effect

THIS []_[] ...that's like saying because A-Rod is linked to steroids and donates money to the university
we are about to get hit with a doping scandal...You can't link the two together ...

For me it was the 14 post.
 
Please let me know the first poster with that few of posts coming on any site with that kind of insinuation on a maybe that wasn't a troll.

thus, troll
 
Don't shoot the messenger - just something to monitor as we slowly make our way out of the woods with the NCAA.

Recently, the NCAA launched a probe into a Miami based autograph broker concerning an alleged deal he made with Johnny Manziel to sign a ton of memorabilia for, from what I understand, about $6,000-$8,000. This is obviously, if true, a blatant NCAA violation.

This same autograph broker has been on UM compliance's radar for a little while, but I haven't heard much else. Talking to a few people around the program, they seem to indicate that this same broker has had "extensive interaction" with past and current players, and has even had a personal run-in with David Reed (former AD for Compliance) during which he was asked to leave the Hecht Athletic Center premises on suspicion of him trying to locate players to proposition for autograph deals.

To what extent his relationship actually was/is with players remains to be seen. It could be perfectly harmless. However, you better believe given our relationship with the NCAA Enforcement and Infractions committee, they are going to attempt to use whatever they can get out of this guy (if anything), not just concerning Manziel.


Again, just passing on the little that I know - take it all with a grain of salt.

No where in the entire story does it mention Miami Hurricanes Players or the University of Miami. I am pretty certain that ESPN would love to throw Miami's name into this story if they could, but they didn't. So as of now CanesLaw and I hope your not studying law because without actual evidence this is what we call SPECULATION....you also said you spoke to people within the compliance dept, but without fact this is called HEARSAY

and with that.....

How do you turn a SEC Janie foosetball story into something about THE U? IT happen in the City of Miami, so it must be a Cane NCAA violation. Did you post this on crap on A&M board or any SEC board? Shouldn't they be concern not us? You SEC fan who can hear what's coming? We are what [[_]] fear!

as a sigep too, I would hope you weren't so trusting as to think that a poster with 14 posts reporting a link that doesn't even mention UM is worth believing considering past history.
 
The coincidence of having David Reed, the same David Reed who had a run in with Shapiro at a game have a run in with this guy was just too much. David Reed must be Batman if this was true.

I mean, would anyone put it past the NCAA to try and fold us into this?

LOL wouldn't surprise me one bit.... However how could we get in trouble?? We might have been hanging with the SEC Golden boy

I'm thinking shooting the messenger here may be, in the proverbial sense, warranted here.

1. I never claimed the story ever mentioned Miami specifically. I simply raised a point for discussion based on inference. That, first and foremost, seems to elude some of you.
2. I never said I spoke to anyone in Compliance, as you improperly suggest.
3. I said to take everything with a "grain of salt" for the specific reason that it was in fact "speculation" as you like to call it.

Judging by your unnecessary use of capital letters, your poor grammar and spelling, your obviously inadequate reading comprehension skills (see #2 above), and the fact that you are so bothered by another member sharing a story and giving his take on it, I'm going to assume that you have no formal education (including no relation to the University of Miami) and that I should just overlook anything you have to say on this board in the future.

and with that...you sir can get the f*** out and go back to shoveling french fries or whatever it is you do, because it certainly can't be anything involving any significant use of your brain. :D


To the rest of you: I didn't mean to offend anyone by posting my take on the article. If I did, my apologies. Just a fan, not a troll, who has been scarred by how the NCAA has continuously ****ed the program/team/school I love over the past few years, and I'm paranoid about it happening again. It's the second day or camp, so perhaps not the time or the place. With that being said, lets get back to the positive talk about the upcoming season elsewhere.

I don't know if it's credible, but I know it's worth at least listening and not bashing until proven otherwise. Plenty of people are connected in many different ways that come across info from time-to-time and will share it. When it's met like this, it turns people off from sharing in the future.
