Does The Miami Hurricanes Deserve The Death Penalty?

Well, as more comes out it seems the Miami Hurricanes will probably be the second school to receive the NCAA's death penalty. Do they deserve it? I guess it all depends on which side of the fence you are on, but with as many people who knew about it how can you avoid it. The problem with the Miami Hurricane's program is it has been crooked for years and everyone has known this for some time. It is a surprise to me it has taken so long for them to get caught.

Miami football had been one of the elite programs and now we all know why many of the top players came to Miami. It was not just for the football, but all the extras that were given to top players. Now I am sure not every player got things, but the majority did. The death penalty will kill this program, and I do not know if they would be able to survive. I am sure they will get a severe penalty, but Hurricane fans are hoping they escape the death penalty as SMU really has never fully recovered from it.

Miami Hurricanes Had Fun But The Punishment Could Be Severe From NCAA

For the last few months the NCAA has been on the University of Miami investigating allegations that the football program was doing things they should not have been doing. Former booster Nevin Shapiro, now serving 20 years in federal prison, claims he treated players to sex parties, nightclub outings, cars and other gifts. According to Shapiro, he helped around 72 players to all the free goodies. Now he sits in a federal prison and is singing like a bird.

The Miami Hurricanes are in some serious trouble if what Shapiro is true and the NCAA comes to that conclusion. With all that has been released so far this could be a big penalty coming the Hurricanes way. Now I am sure others had to know about it, but they just turned the other cheek. It was more important to skirt the rules and win games than to do the right thing. I guess now they wish they had done it the other way around.

Miami is going to be hit hard by the NCAA, but the reality is rules need to be changed or this will continue to happen at other colleges. Changing the rules is something the NCAA must do and do it fast. I am sure that Miami is not the only school that does it. Shapiro also admitted that SEC schools do it as well. They just have not been caught with their hand in the cookie jar as Miami has so far.
