MIAMI & the NCAA Situation

[charsibb]

(170,000 / 8) < 10,000 ?

Some education.

(170,000 / 8) = 21,250

Pointing to the wrongs of the NCAA doesn't abolish the wrongs by Miami.

 

Now, THAT's funny!

CHATTER

Though neither is accused of wrongdoing in the Notice of Allegations, Al Golden and Jim Larranaga --- eager to defend and represent their programs – will join UM’s contingent at the June 13-15 Indianapolis hearings before the NCAA's infractions committee. UM’s response to the NCAA’s allegations are due Monday. So are the responses of the implicated former Hurricanes coaches.

### At a Board of Trustees meeting Friday, UM president Donna Shalala expressed optimism that UM would not receive significant additional penalties. But modest scholarship reductions would not be surprising.

### One former UM coach accused of wrongdoings complained privately that what the ex-UM coaches allegedly did paled in comparison to unreported violations committed in the SEC.

### Nevin Shapiro, serving a 20-year sentence for a Ponzi scheme, is being transferred from Louisiana and expects to end up in a Butner, N.C. prison where the nation's most famous Ponzi schemer, Bernie Madoff, is serving time.

Yu, UM gets a slap on the wrist. The NCAA screwed the pooch royally on this investigation. I'll be anxiously waiting final word on what transpires from this debacle.

Who cares, Miami is allowed to break the rules

Ok, now the strategy is to say the NCAA twisted my testimony.   Since we know the NCAA screwed up the investigation lets use that as our defense and make stuff up.

Meanwhile, in a related matter, Canes defensive end Dyron Dye interviewed for a third time with the NCAA on Tuesday, trying to ward off a potential unethical conduct charge, but he was not told when the NCAA will rule on his eligibility for his senior season.

A synopsis of the latest NCAA twist:

According to sources, Dye and former UM players Olivier Vernon, Eric Moncur, Randy Phillips and Jacory Harris signed affidavits on behalf of former UM assistant coach Aubrey Hill, who faces NCAA charges. (The father of former UM safety Ray-Ray Armstrong said his son declined to sign the letter because he wants to move on.)

Like Dye and Harris, Vernon is taking issue with the NCAA’s interview tactics.

“The NCAA treated us like criminals,†Vernon said Tuesday at a Dolphins charity event, adding that he signed Hill's affidavit on the suggestion of Phillips, who was close with Nevin Shapiro and also has a good relationship with Hill.

"When [Johanningmeier] asked the question, he made it seem like he wanted you to answer it as to where you did something wrong," Vernon said. "He flipped it on us… Sometimes you blurt out something that you were pressured into saying. He pressured us a lot more.â€

In his affidavit for Hill that was obtained by The Associated Press and The Miami Herald, Dye said Johanningmeier "continually threatened me if I did [not] comply with him.. I felt intimidated by Mr. Johanningmeier and I was also concerned regarding the possibility of losing my scholarship and athletic eligibility....

"I felt compelled to testify in a manner that would be consistent with the manner in which Mr. Johanningmeier was directing me in order to keep my eligibility…. I feel it is unfair the NCAA has twisted my testimony to use it negatively against coach Hill.â€

He added that “I have learned that Mr. Johanningmeier has employed similar intimidating tactics during interviews with student-athletes.â€

Harris echoed those sentiments.

Citing pressure from Jonhanningmeier, Dye changed parts of his story in his second 2011 interview. The NCAA scheduled Tuesday's interview to explore what it perceived as discrepancies between Dye's affadavit and his second NCAA interview.

Dye said contrary to claims in UM's Notice of Allegations, he did not stay at Hill's home, was not provided meals by Hill including joining him for a meal at Grazie Italian Cuisine; did not get transportation from him "halfway between Orlando and Miami during an unofficial visit."

He also said "to my the best of my knowledge," Hill "did not arrange for Shapiro to pay for bowling, beverages and meals at Lucky Strikes" on Miami Beach --- another charge against UM and Hill in the Notice of Allegations.

It's notable that Johanningmeier, who retired in May 2012, and the NCAA previously were sued for defamation by two former Alabama coaches; a $30 million judgment for one coach was tossed by a court on technical grounds.

And he is also targeted in an ongoing lawsuit by former Mississippi State coach Jackie Sherrill, a suit in which Johanningmeier is accused of knowingly making false claims and using information from a biased Mississippi booster.

The interview with Dye was conducted by the NCAA’s Brynna Barnhart, notable because UM previously asked that she be removed from the case on grounds she “repeatedly misled the university.†The NCAA denied that request, calling it “insulting and incredulous†that UM would “attack her.â€

According to UM, Barnhart told UM that she was told Kyle Wright called the NCAA to incriminate UM; Wright has vehemently denied that, asserting the NCAA called him.

UM also has accused Barnhart of lying to former basketball assistant coach Jake Morton, telling him Frank Haith said something that Haith never said, in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to turn on Haith.

Dye’s attorney, Darren Heitner,said of the interview Tuesday: “Based on all the information provided, our hope is the NCAA acts in a way that is just and proper.†Heitner declined to comment further.

(170,000 / 8) < 10,000 ?

Some education.

(170,000 / 8) = 21,250

Pointing to the wrongs of the NCAA doesn't abolish the wrongs by Miami.

 

 

 

OK, I am confused by your math.

 

First, let's look at the denominator.  The alleged $170,000 number was supposedly spent on 72 players, 3 recruits, and 12 family members, correct?  So shouldn't your denominator be 87, and not 8?

 

Second, let's look at the numerator.  Supposedly, over $90,000 was spent to sign Wilfork and Rolle to representation contracts.  Supposedly, $50,000 was paid to Wilfork halfway through his final season at Miami.  So that would leave less than $80,000 to divide between 85 recipients, correct?

 

The point is simple.  Assuming the truth of the matter asserted, nobody defends what Wilfork or Rolle may have done prematurely in the pursuit of their professional careers.

 

But to try to divide $170,000 among 8 individuals who were suspended under the NCAA amateurism rules, when most of those 8 were shown to have received less than $1,000 of benefits apiece, is simply misleading.

 

Love us or hate us, let's just try to stick to the facts.
