I hate Miami, but if the NCAA waited this long just to take away what has been a great season for them so far, then that is seriously messed up. I don't care who the team is.
But likely they are just going to say that all is forgiven because they probably were too inept to get any real dirt on them in the first place.
Couldn't agree more!
Well, I bet it went something like this....(NSFW Language)
It is crazy how long it took for this to come to an end. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but come on. Given that nothing has leaked (like previous big sanctions) I don't imagine it will result in any post season ban. Don't know how, but don't see that occurring...
And, looks like NC (the state, not the school) is going in a different route trying to put the blame on the agents while going after them. Knowing the NCAA, they will take that as sufficient penalty and do nothing.
The NCAA should be ashamed of themselves for how long this has taken.
Miami should be declared as sufficiently punished just for leaving them hanging for so long.
I'll be shocked if they get any punishment above those self-inflicted.
What's sad is how fast they acted on Haha Clinton-Dix and Manziel but it took them this long for Miami. Not to mention that UNCheat hasn't had anything happen to them yet.
The NCAA clears them. Then a jubilant Hurricane team finds themselves utterly crushed by a Hokie team on a roll.
Dey Skate!
Dey bak! That's just what da U does!
That's why they haven't been back lately! They haven't skirted major NCAA sanctions in the recent past!
I think we'll see something, but not terribly much. I'm thinking scholarship reductions, and that's it. Maybe probation, but don't count on it.
I think the NCAA should require them to use that clip from "Stepbrothers" as their pre-game entrance.
I just read this as bow-atz and ho-ez. Fail.
I think they are going to lose 5 scholarships for 3 years, 2 years probation, and get time served on the bowl bans. The first bowl ban I give them no credit for as Miami would have lost money going to Shreveport but they did man up and skip the ACC CG last year.
I'm just gonna leave this here...
They cheated and should be burned to the ground.
I hate Miami.....a lot! But you cannot penalize players and coaches that were not there when this issue came up. Miami has penalized itself and the NCAA has taken far too long to do anything about it now. If they actually had anything solid on them they would've torched them a while ago.
Penn State and USC were both penalized due to the actions of people no longer in the program. It sucks but this is how the system works. Miami's self-imposed penalties were a joke- they spared themselves a trip to bowl they didn't want and a beating by FSU in the ACCCG. Read Charles Robinson's work. It's all there. It's taken this long because the NCAA is clueless.
The NCAA is clueless. It seemed like they had Miami dead to rights when this story first broke. Now it's been years and they haven't figured it out. I doubt anything happens to them.
My guess is that the boys from the front office give them time served, a minimal "don't do that again" and a stern look and shrink back into the dark little place they've been for the past two years. The NCAA is more ashamed that they can't figure out how to punish the criminals than the criminals are ashamed that they got caught.
Miami is a top 10 program, don't expect the NCAA to do anything. That's just how they roll. For examples, see examples such as Manziel, Johnny or Newton, Cam. USC was down from national dominance at the time of their punishment, as was Penn State. The NCAA won't do much of anything besides some probation, take some scholarships, and that's about it. Maybe they vacate some wins, but a lot of this happened when they were struggling for wins already if I remember correctly.
Ohio State was a top ten program too and they got punished!
A top 10 program that consistently folded in BCS games. Not that we have been much better, but they weren't on top of the world, just taking advantage of the B1G.
Ohio St. beat Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl/NCG. Just sayin'
Like I said, I couldn't remember the time that this whole thing covered. Some people also might argue that the 2003 Fiesta Bowl and the 2012 Sugar Bowl had some similarities in questionable officiating.
I like how you put their last names first and their first names last.

Donna Shalala strikes again.
