how embarrassing is this for miami. it was embarrassing enough when this shit was going on and they were winning national titles.

8/16/2011 7:35:25 PM

miami

8/16/2011 7:58:28 PM

Miami showin' everyone else how it's done.

8/16/2011 7:59:39 PM

Man, if only Clemson, VT, and FSU left. We could have won the ACC.

$1,000 for the worst moment of my NC State student football-watching career

[Edited on August 16, 2011 at 8:03 PM. Reason : lol @ getting $500 for a celebration penalty]

8/16/2011 8:03:03 PM

i was so mad at that kickoff return

8/16/2011 8:05:27 PM

We are going to win the acc by default if this keeps up.

8/16/2011 8:09:13 PM

I wanna see a compiled list of bounties earned via Chris Rix hits lol

8/16/2011 8:15:33 PM

Hopefully this will encourage ESPN to re-play The U soon, I never got to see it.

DJ Williams



less than I thought on Chris Rix-hits: Sean Taylor "hit of the game" for $1000, Jonathan Vilma hit+PF for $1000, Vilma hit again for $1000

8/16/2011 8:45:21 PM

goddamn miami.

8/16/2011 8:59:04 PM

ahahahahaha, saw this on SA forums:

8/16/2011 9:07:23 PM

is ESPN still silent about this whole fiasco?

its a shame Butch wasn't implicated at all, I'd love proof that he was into dirty shit long before he went to UNC

8/16/2011 9:11:47 PM

they launched an entire subsection for this

http://sports.yahoo.com/investigations

8/16/2011 9:14:01 PM

This is really some shit. DAAAAAMMMMNNNNN.... They may lose almost a decade of wins. This season is useless. If your Miami, do you risk playing any possible player involved/named? I am a Miami fan, and this sucks.

More like Duke is going to win the coastal by default if this keeps up.

8/16/2011 9:19:58 PM

Prime Time in the ACC spent 15 minutes talking about how great Butch Davis was at cleaning up the U.

8/16/2011 9:23:16 PM

that show would've been better when Packer still hosted it, because he hates UNC

8/16/2011 9:25:08 PM

I was just thinking...this guy could likely go down as the biggest douchebag in sports history. I think sports fans could forgive him for providing all that shit to players, because we know that feeling of wanting our team to win. But to do it for 10 years with someone else's money and then turn around and completely snitch the program out? That's just fucked up.

8/16/2011 9:52:24 PM

there's nothing trustworthy about this pocket-sized motherfucker, i wouldn't believe it if he told me the sky was blue

that said, he's given yahoo and the ncaa a lot to investigate

8/16/2011 10:43:39 PM

i mean, I hate UNC as much as the rest of you people, maybe even more, but this shit at Miami? DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!! Pay for play... AND pay for penalty and injuries against other teams? DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!!!

Miami needs its own investigation thread because this one is going to be huge

8/17/2011 9:06:32 AM

Miami probably deserves the death penalty here.

From the presser yesterday, sounds like Al Golden was completely blindsided by this, and it may be the case that the administration new this was beginning to unfold when they hired him (sports radio talk, so grain of salt)

8/17/2011 9:16:31 AM

Although we may not want to trust the asshole, I know I don't, there are way too many detailed facts and "corroborating" stories that so far are backing these allegations up.

Miami may become the next SMU...

8/17/2011 9:50:20 AM

i guess butch davis really did clean up miami like we all thought.

8/17/2011 10:01:53 AM

Shapiro should sue Miami for lack of results on the field. Terrible return on his investment.

8/17/2011 10:28:20 AM

this Miami investigation makes the whole OSU scandal look pretty minor

prostitutes, subsidized abortions and bounties for injuring opposing players is pretty damning stuff. They can take their "swagger" straight to death row, right alongside SMU.

8/17/2011 10:45:49 AM

bascially what happened here is the players from the U told wee-man to "go get your fucking shinebox" and he joe pesci'ed the U

8/17/2011 10:54:30 AM

if miami gets the death penalty, that's real bad for the ACC.

8/17/2011 10:58:55 AM

if Miami doesnt get the death penalty, that's real bad for the NCAA

8/17/2011 11:02:56 AM

can the ACC enforce punishments?

[Edited on August 17, 2011 at 11:05 AM. Reason : sadf]

8/17/2011 11:05:13 AM

I assume the death penalty wouldn't come into effect until next year (schedule already made for this year, investigation would take a long time), and this year would see a plethora of suspensions, like UNC last year.

8/17/2011 11:09:08 AM

If I was Golden, I would leave immediately. He won't be able to do shit at that university once the NCAA is finished. Recruiting will be non-existent, no post-season for AT LEAST several years, probation FOREVER, etc.

Get the fuck out and go somewhere small.

The ACC should also get rid of Miami. It's next to impossible to run a clean program in that city. What other college town has the numerous amounts of strip clubs, bottle-service-type night clubs, yachts, etc. with all these Luther Campbell wanna-bes where it's way too easy to throw money at these dirt poor kids. Add insult to injury...they haven't even been that good! Drop them and add WVU or Pitt (or both, fuck it...find another and get to 14 teams).

8/17/2011 11:27:05 AM

Al Golden can come work for TOB for a year while he sorts things out.

Might as well, if they have to vacate 10 years worth of wins as you say, what's another year?

8/17/2011 11:42:25 AM

i thought miami's philosophy has always been "fuck the world we're going to break rules in front of you and not give a fuck b/c we win every game we play". might as well go for broke this season, even though they suck.

8/17/2011 12:28:37 PM

I hope Shapiro isn't in a South Florida jail. Bad things could happen to him.

8/17/2011 12:45:31 PM

The last line of Uncle Luke's address in the Miami Herald is begging the prison to leave him in general population.

8/17/2011 1:10:44 PM

I think he is in a NJ prison

8/17/2011 1:19:33 PM

^^care to tell us what that line is, or link to the article, so we don't have to go searching for it?

8/17/2011 1:20:39 PM

it's probably not hard to find, if you've ever used google

agreed. It brings up a lot of questions as to how the logistics of the season would go.

If they couldn't play for 2 years, does that effectively make the ACC an 11 team conference for those two years, thereby killing the ACC championship game? If so that's bad for everyone.
