Absolutely...they are exactly what happens when you get a bunch of poor kids into a private school populated with rich children whose dad's are drug lords, movie stars, and/or athletes. I showed the ESPN 30/30 last fall in my Sport Film class, then we did a skype interview with Billy Corben. His stories of what it was like to go to school there were fantastic.

I went to SC. Same thing re: poor kids / rich whitey school....minus the drug lord parents part. I think some of the students were drug lords though. These poor kids dont have a chance to stay on the straight and narrow. I was a fucking wreck for 4 years - had a blast -- and if I had access to what those kids had access to I am sure I would have been booted out.

They have a Sports Management program there (although I kinda teach anti-sport management), and when a job comes open I am applying for sure.

ha except they won titles back in the 80s, lots of 8-4s and 7-5s with this loser buying players.

seriously i love sports and all but what goes into the mind of a guy like this? what does someone like this get out of doing this kind of stuff? do you really get satisfaction hanging out with a bunch of college dudes and with winning when you cheat like this? what a waste of money. college football is such a cesspool.

Wow. Just finished reading the article. Pretty crazy, but not surprising at all. NCAA is a complete mess....how does no one catch the fact that a big time booster is also a part owner of a sports agency????

Obviously thats what Miami did...but how can this go on for so long and no one from the NCAA know about it or do anything?? College sports are such a joke.

i think they get the death penalty because it's a perfect program for the NCAA to give it to. a program with a big name but not really all the relevent today compared to the SEC. perfect to make the NCAA look like they are doing something without really harming today's powers.

The Tats/Stripper Bowl

the hypocrisy of the ncaa knows no bounds

USC fans were reeling last June when Paul Dee, then-chairman of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions, oversaw the handing down of some of the most severe sanctions in college football history.

Now Dee is back in the news.

In a report on Yahoo!Sports, Charles Robinson details how imprisoned University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro allegedly provided impermissible benefits to more than 70 Hurricanes athletes from 2002 to 2010.

Dee was Miami’s athletic director from 1993 to 2008.

Wrote Robinson:

Shapiro said he was enabled by the university, allowed to run the entire Miami team out of tunnel and onto the field -- twice -- and once honored on the field by former athletic director Paul Dee during a game. The same Paul Dee who wagged a finger at USC as the chairman of the NCAA’s committee on infractions in 2010, chiding the Reggie Bush/O.J. Mayo scandal as a systematic failure.

“High-profile players demand high-profile compliance,” Dee said while announcing USC’s sanctions.

Now Shapiro says Miami’s athletic compliance -- Dee’s own backyard while Shapiro was operating -- suffered one catastrophic oversight after another.

Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com took Dee to task in his column:

He's the guy who sat in judgment of USC when the program was burned to the ground, then scolded the school for letting it happen.

"High profile players demand high-profile compliance," Dee said 14 months ago in reference to Reggie Bush.

There have been few more hypocritical words spoken in the history of NCAA enforcement.

Stewart Mandel of SI.com also weighed in on Dee:

“Dee, Miami's AD during most of the period covering Shapiro's allegations, is retired and no longer under NCAA jurisdiction. Still, it seems only fair he should spend a day at USC's Heritage Hall wearing a sandwich board with the word "Hypocrite."

See if this sounds familiar: "We didn't have any suspicion that he was doing anything like this.” He didn't do anything to cause concern."

I'm fairly certain I heard Pete Carroll say something to that effect, repeatedly, about Bush's time at USC. He insisted there's no way he or anyone else at the school could have known that Bush's parents were living the high life in San Diego -- a defense Dee and his committee sharply rebuked.

my guess is people wouldn't care as much. when you have the name of a school in your name, you have all the allumni that what to be part of it. you have 100 year old rivalries, school pride.

with a minor league team, you have the Columbus Tattoo'ers vs. the Miami Boosters. not as exciting, even if hte same players are playing.

well i wouldn't want it...i love college football and it would piss me off if they tried to do something like this...but the ncaa is so incompetent they might just fuck up the golden goose they have and the nfl might fill the void

no incentive for NFL to start any minor league - why put your own money into something when the colleges will pay to do the same thing.

as for the NCAA the BCS conferences are going to break off and start their own organization in the near future. only way this doesn't happen is government intervention somehow. BCS schools have no interest in being aligned with non-BCS conferences. i think a split is inevitable.
