Should the "U" get the death penalty??

Really? So you're saying that a player attending Penn State or Missouri is getting treated to hookers and other payments that should make them otherwise ineligible? I know you don't believe that, antitrust.

Clearly, there are dirty programs (Miami has always been one of them). And naturally, lots of college coaches play on the edges. But there's literally a 0.0000001 percent chance that there are many college programs out there with the "benefits" University of Miami players are alleged to have received. You really think that widespread use of hookers and blow throughout the college game would somehow not be uncovered, especially considering the scandals at USC, North Carolina, Ohio State, and now Miami over the last four to five years?

Selling a couple jerseys (AJ Green) or gold pants (tOSU) is in a whole different ballpark than what Nevin Shapiro is alleging.

I remember the Notre Dame cougar who was fucl<ing recruits like there was no tomorrow. She was on their staff.....so yes, I also think all kinds of things go on.It's a case of don't ask--don't tell.I would not be surprised if the ncaa's infractions investigators don't take a piece of the action..on a here and there basis of course.

Nothing would surprise me after the Cam Newton decision last year. A guy's pops can shop his services all over the SEC, but as long as the player plays dumb, it's not a violation? Riiiiiiight.

Anyway, sincerely not saying that shady dealings don't happen everywhere, but the Miami shady dealings are infinitely more shady than 99.3 percent of most college scandals out there. On a lot of levels, it's got to be more offensive than what SMU did in the mid to late 80's to warrant the original "death penalty."
