Asked specifically if Miami should be declared national champions if Ohio State won with ineligible players, McGahee said: “I feel we were cheated anyway. We beat them. The pass interference with the eligible, ineligible players. It wouldn’t have made any difference. I can’t get my money back that I missed out on a second ring. If they did [cheat] I’d like to have my ring.”
LOL. Add that to this zinger of hypocrisy from former Miami AD Paul Dee while he was NCAA infractions director in the Reggie Bush investigation:The meal turned out to be an NCAA violation - one of many minor ones Gee commits each year. "I'm more self-reported than any president in the country," he quips.
Again, others might not laugh. 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.
I guess McGahee, Winslow, Hester, Wilfork, et al just weren't high profile enough."High profile players demand high-profile compliance," Dee said 14 months ago in reference to Reggie Bush. "USC should have known"

Webbie just let the buckeye fans be hypocritical. Its ok to call out another program and say they should get the death penalty even tho all the facts/evidence haven't been confirmed. But you're not allowed to do it to OSU. Do I think there is more actual evidence in the Miami case probably, do I think whats happened at Miami is worse then OSU yes!WebFire;866197 wrote:Case in point. Based on this evidence, you would but Miami in the slammer.
"On Robert Marve’s allegation page, Yahoo! shows a September credit card statement with a bill at Cameo night club, which Shapiro alleges that he took UM players to after a 2008 loss to FSU."
However...
"A simple fact check from Yahoo! would have shown that UM and FSU played in October that year, therefore disproving Shapiro’s version of events."
It's never that simple. I think after the shock value of this story wears off, people will start tearing about the "evidence" and making heads and tails of it.

What is the angle there?
And I'd appreciate a little more respect, considering you can't even put a "put" instead of a "but".
Troll.
