Back to the original question. I don't know if they deserve it or not, I do not know the criteria.

I do know the NCAA will not give them the death penalty. They saw what it did to SMU and will not do it again. Too many people in and around a football program rely on that program to make a living. Not to mention hurting the City of Miami and the surrounding area. If the NCAA were to dole out another death penalty, it hurts many more people than just the University at fault.

Back to getting away from the original question......this is just part of the sell out in microcosm.


Colleges can't get enough money and perks;neither can their athletes.

What's fair is fair.

Former three sport recruit.
All different schools recruiting for different sports. (except Miami and Georgia).
Al Golden was a high school football coach at a school I may or may not have gone to. Many of my classmates from the area and time went to Div. 1 schools for various sports.
The recruiting trips were all very similar and an awful lot of fun for 17 and 18 year old kids. RPI for hockey did not treat us to much more than dinner and a tour of the facility.
Miami takes great advantage of the location/reputation and makes sure it is a damn good time.
I feel bad for the current administration there and think a lot of this will just go away over time. UM has a lot to lose and now has a legit guy at the helm of the football program.

One should be careful when visiting the Fountain of Eweth.
