As if Miami’s reputation didn’t precede itself when they joined the conference:
In 100 hours of jailhouse interviews during Yahoo! Sports’ 11-month investigation, Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro described a sustained, eight-year run of rampant NCAA rule-breaking, some of it with the knowledge or direct participation of at least seven coaches from the Miami football and basketball programs. At a cost that Shapiro estimates in the millions of dollars, he said his benefits to athletes included but were not limited to cash, prostitutes, entertainment in his multimillion-dollar homes and yacht, paid trips to high-end restaurants and nightclubs, jewelry, bounties for on-field play (including bounties for injuring opposing players), travel and, on one occasion, an abortion.
Meanwhile, SI’s Luke Winn speculates that Alamance County native Frank Haith’s tenure at Missouri will end before he coaches a single game following allegations surrounding the Hurricanes’ basketball program, which include paying $10,000 to secure a top recruit.
