<p>I am not sure, but the likely answer is yes. UM would just have to look into their own backyard, Seantrel Henderson was released from his LOI at USC (after they were slammed with sanctions) in the middle of the summer and then signed with the Hurricanes a few days later. IIRC, USC let him go, the NCAA technically did not force them to let him go freely. </p>
<p>What the NCAA did do to USC was let anyone currently on the team when the sanctions hit (basically anyone not a freshman. So technically the recruits were stuck, so they could have forced Henderson to stay) transfer without penalty. Usually if a D1 football player wants to transfer to another D1 school, they have to sit out a year (they transfer to a D1-AA school and lower and play right away though). USC lost a few guys that way. </p>
<p>Expect Miami to be poached pretty hard, with the above ^ and Miami’s recruiting class of 2012 will likely be raided as well.</p>
<p>And vince, I agree. The UM situation does not look quite as bad as SMU. But it is god-awful and I think the punishment will match that. I agree with your punishments, and I dont think that it would be a full death penalty where they disband the football team, but like you said it would practically feel like the death penalty. </p>
<p>One thing Im not sure of is if the NCAA will bring back TV bans. It would hurt UM, sure, but it would also hurt other schools that Miami is playing. Who knows though, arguably this is the biggest NCAA scandal since SMU. </p>

<p>Im not sure if it was in the Yahoo article or a secondary report, but somewhere it said that assistant coaches were driving players and RECRUITS to strip clubs, yachts, parties, etc sponsored and bank rolled by Nevin Shapiro. </p>
<p>If that is true, Miami would be screwed even worse than they are now (which is terrible). This practically puts UM on SMUs level. </p>
<p>It certainly will be interesting seeing how the cards will fall and how quickly the NCAA moves.</p>
