Shapiro Allegations and the Effect on the University?

<p>If all of the allegations are true (which I doubt) this will make all of Ohio State’s transgressions, true and untrue, look like jaywalking. </p>

<p>However, it does not look good for UM. Apparently Yahoo didn’t publish a few other coaches names and over 30 other players names becomes they could not be corroborated by another source, just Shapiro. Yikes. </p>

<p>Paul Dee and Donna Shalala look like major tools after this though. </p>

<p>“At Miami, president Donna Shalala personally hires each coach. She studies the NCAA rulebook and weekly compliance reports. During football games, she scours the sidelines for suspicious guests. ‘I’m on alert all the time,’ she says.”</p>

<p>“High-profile players demand high-profile compliance” -Paul Dee (regarding USC & the Reggie Bush case)</p>

<p>I highly doubt the death penalty will be used, but I would be shocked if the penalties do not exceed what USC got. By far. </p>

<p>But, as an OSU fan, wait it out. It was pretty month from the end of May to about the end of June when it seemed like the OSU stuff really hit the fan. And guess what? The program was put under a microscope, ESPN had a front page article about OSU everyday for about two weeks, etc… And guess what? Only one extra player was added to the original tat5 (SI writer George Dohrmann went as far as to name a player that traded autographs for tats who does not have a single tattoo on his body. Still claims his ‘bombshell’ story is “100% accurate”. Agenda much?)</p>

<p>So hold tight UM, it might not be as bad as it seems right now. But, it does seem like Yahoo did their homework, not just random drive-by/mudslinging journalism. </p>

<p>This was the ‘10’ bombshell.</p>
