I hope NOTHING like this ever hits an SEC team.
We are getting our entertainment, but this is horrific and the aftermath may alter CFB for quite a while.
Not only is this going to frick Miami forever.. besides the fact that they are probably done in football once their current scholarships expire..
This could destroy the entire ACC.

I think it would be cool if they just made one and called it "The U".

If he isn't careful, someone from South Beach may make him pull off a Mark Madoff.

Cliff Notes of Allegations for those with ADD

So here are the bare essentials of what you need to know about Yahoo's extraordinary expose on Miami booster Nevin Shapiro's relationship with the Hurricanes' foootball program, and the vast array of prohibited benefits the convicted felon and Ponzi schemer provided to players from 2002 to 2010.
Hookers. Check. Loads of them, provided for players at the Mercury hotel from 2002 to 2003, and later offered more discreetly by appointment on Nevin Shapiro's yacht. Don't worry, though: he didn't sleep with any of them. (Ponzi scheme, yes; prostitution, no.)
Cash money. Loads of it, offered to football and basketball players at Shapiro's residence by the booster himself. Shapiro organized competitions with players to funnel money to winners, and also offered bounties for big hits and taking quarterbacks out of games. Both Tim Tebow and Chris Rix were targets of Shapiro bounties.
Funneling players to agents. Shapiro pointed at least two players towards an agent and business partner, current UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue. These players were first round NFL pick Vince Wilfork and Jon Beason.
Gifts. Shapiro provided suits, watches, plane tickets, meals, televisions for players. One particularly interesting purchase: Devin Hester's wedding ring.
Yacht/Mansion access. Players had access to both of Shapiro's luxury homes in Miami and his $1.2 million yacht, and often used both for lavish parties funded by Shapiro.
Strip clubs. Shapiro often paid for all expenses at strip club visits with players, and did so frequently. He even paid for the abortion of one player after he impregnated a stripper.
Coaches' knowledge of benefits. Shapiro named the following coaches as having full knowledge of his rulebreaking or participated directly in it: Clint Hurtt, Jeff Stoutland and Aubrey Hill on the football staff, and Frank Haith, Jake Morton and Jorge Fernandez on the basketball staff.
In summary: if half of this is true, Miami is in a state of trouble unseen since the SMU scandal.

In hindsight, Shapiro said he looks at that moment and realizes Miami could have seized on countless incidents and ended his flagrant assault on NCAA bylaws. Just a 20-minute drive northwest from campus, across one of the causeways and into Miami Beach, Shapiro’s high-rolling routine with Hurricanes football players was on display on a daily basis. And according to Shapiro, all Miami needed to do was look.
But instead, Shapiro said he was enabled by the university

Jesus. If true, this is going to make SMU's death penalty look like a slap on the wrist.
