MIAMI & the NCAA Situation

[CanesFan77]

Avoiding sanctions?? Are you serious with this nonsense? Miami already has been punished enough. 3 postseason games and guilty in the eyes of the public. Maybe some loss of scholarships but what else are you wanting? Anything more and youre entering closer to Penn St than USC.

 

Did Miami have some players doing things they shouldnt have been? Yeah, which program doesnt. But all because some hack Yahoo writer took everything as gospel doesnt mean it was all true.

 

 

And the program was never nearly shut down once because of sanctions. But lets not let the facts get in the way of anything.

Penn State got jobbed by the NCAA as absolutely ZERO competitive advantage was gained by what happened there. While those in charge need to be in prison for a long time, that is up to the state of PA. and its citizens to punish the people involved not the NCAA. Lets not let the facts get in the way of what is really going on here.

Penn State also go levied a $60 million dollar fine.  So even if Miami got hit with the same bowl ban and the same scholarship reductions, it still not even close to the same punishment.

NCAA fires VP of enforcement

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--ncaa-firing-vp-of-enforcement-171556026.html

 

With the NCAA set to release an external report
detailing an abuse of power in its investigation into the University of
Miami, Yahoo! Sports has learned the association has fired its vice
president of enforcement, Julie Roe Lach.

Multiple sources familiar with the external investigation said Roe
Lach’s dismissal stems from her approving an improper financial
relationship between an NCAA investigator and an attorney of former
Miami booster Nevin Shapiro. NCAA president Mark Emmert announced on
Jan. 23 that the law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft had been
retained to conduct an external review of the association’s "enforcement
environment" – notably the relationship between the NCAA and Shapiro
attorney Maria Elena Perez.

The NCAA will release the findings of the enforcement review at 2 p.m. ET Monday.

According to three sources interviewed as part of the investigation, Roe
Lach approved reimbursements for Elena Perez, who conducted bankruptcy
depositions of two individuals tied to the Miami investigation – former
Miami equipment manager Sean Allen, and former NFL agent Michael
Huyghue. Elena Perez denied any wrongdoing to Yahoo! Sports, stating
that the depositions for Allen and Huyghue were planned "months" prior
to Shapiro becoming involved with the NCAA.

Roe Lach was NCAA president Mark Emmert’s hand-picked choice to lead the
association’s enforcement process in December 2010, following the
retirement of David Price. Roe Lach joined the NCAA in 1998.

Since her appointment, the NCAA's enforcement staff has been engaged in a
number of high-profile cases, including those involving the University
of North Carolina and Ohio State University football programs, as well
as ongoing probes into Syracuse University athletics and the University
of Oregon. Roe Lach’s enforcement unit was also in place when Emmert
personally sanctioned Penn State University in the Jerry Sandusky
scandal.

Roe Lach’s departure is only the latest in a spate of firings in the
association’s enforcement staff. Investigator Abigail Grantstein was
fired in December for improper conduct during the association’s
investigation into UCLA basketball star Shabazz Muhammad. Investigator
Ameen Najjar was also fired in the summer of 2012 while working on the
Miami case. The enforcement staff also lost longtime investigator Rich
Johanningmeier, who retired in 2012, and saw the abrupt resignation of
Bill Benjamin, who left his post as the NCAA’s director of enforcement
less than eight months after taking the position.
