More NCAA Alleged Violations The Latest Victim: MIAMI THE U

Ok here we are again talking about another school in some very hot water. According to ESPN.COM Former booster Nevin Shapiro, serving 20 years in federal prison, claims he treated players to sex parties, nightclub outings, cars and other gifts. Shapiro told Yahoo! Sports he provided improper benefits to 72 football players and other athletes at Miami from 2002 to 2010. 

Now if this is true and that is a big if coming from a convicted felon wow "THE U" could be in for some major NCAA sanctions right? We can only hope so. It looks though that if you know the right people and are a big enough draw in the limelight you can get out of such violations. Considering OHIO STATE had players that admitted to selling there jerseys for tattoos and getting cars from dealerships for free and all kinds of jazz. However somehow these same players got to play in THE SUGAR BOWL. Why you say? Because the President of the Sugar Bowl most likely made a phone call to the NCAA or Ohio State and said hey what has to happen to get Tyrell Pryor in that DOME.  So you see the NCAA is always warning about how they are going to bring down some harsh punishment on those that violate rules however the main ones seem to always slip through the cracks. Now i admit that they did somewhat throw the book at The University of Southern California, but come on it took them nearly 5 years to bring the allegations to light? After which USC had won national titles had heisman trophy winners and plenty of nice hardware to line the case at USC. Now look I am a huge college football fan and I love my Clemson Tigers. However if Clemson got involved in some nasty violations I would expect them to get punishment and I just like all the fans would take the same punishment. All I am saying is at some point someone has to be made and example of. And I'm not just talking about Schools here. I know school presidents cant control these so called Agents trying to ruin our great sport, but they can control boosters and AD's that turn a blind eye and even coaches who know that this going on but just shrug it off.  If your and AD and you know you should be fired coaches to. I mean if you steal money from where you work it doesn't matter if your the CEO or a Clerk, if there is evidence that you stole you will lose your job so why should college coaches and AD's be any different. Cheating is cheating no water which way you slice it.  The NCAA needs to punish people who get involved with polluting such a wonderful sport, after all isn't that what there paid to do.
