    KEARNEY, N.J. – A University of Miami booster, incarcerated for his role in a $930 million Ponzi scheme, has told Yahoo! Sports he provided thousands of impermissible benefits to at least 72 athletes from 2002 through 2010.

    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...

    It's not right to pay for the prostitute if you are not going to pay for the abortion.

    Prostitutes and abortion. This is what separates Miami boosters from the rest of the pack. I'm officially a Hurricane fan now.

    If USC got 2 years, Miami has to get at least 4 years.

    did anyone hear the NCAA chair say they need to change some major rules, was some AP report in paper about it the other day

    really wonder if they are going to address payer compensation for the money making progams

    If you guys remember correctly, Miami has gone through something like this before. Funny thing is, other than 2001 (NCAA champs) UM has sucked hard.

    Just read the story, UM is fucked. Why do they always pick on Miami?

    We invented this scam, well, SMU invented it, we perfected it.

    Fuck Paul Dee, he's the biggest fucking slime bag hypocrite in the whole fucked up NCAA "system." I hope his ass gets dropped by the NCAA, he's been the AD at two of the biggest NCAA violations in history. Ironic how he was selected to the infractions committee following major violations.

    He made sure USC got hammered hard, I can't wait till they get it 5x worse.

    Also funny that in their era of 'sucking hard', they played for the national championship again the year after winning it.

    Great read, pretty crazy stuff, sounds like being a player at the U during this was pretty much the best thing ever.
