This journalist makes the SI crew look like middle school cry baby liars.

Of the 72 players accused, he claims the number should be more like 12. Gives his reasons that Crime U won't get the death penalty, which were already discussed on this thread. For one, this guy has entirely way too much time on his hands. I don't care if it's 5, 8, 12, 48, 72, or 8000 - Miami is in serious trouble. Even if there's only 12 players that are "violation worthy", the severity of the violations are still enough to cripple the university.

Not only does this evidence have NOTHING to do with the accusations Yahoo! made (of which they offer no direct evidence), but the phone records are from AFTER Phillips left Miami.

The dirty little reporting trick Yahoo! played time and again was to claim they used evidence to corroborate Shapiro’s claims. And, in some instances, they absolutely did. But, in instances (as with the abortion claim) where Yahoo! had no evidence other than the word of the felon, they printed the accusation anyway. This allowed Yahoo! to claim that they had fully vetted claims that they had not. In the alleged abortion incident, not even the player would know of his involvement (Shapiro claimed to have never informed the player), yet Yahoo! felt it was fit to print that accusation.

On 5 occasions, Yahoo! printed accusations against players with no evidence whatsoever other than Shapiro’s word.

On 19 occasions, Yahoo! printed an accusation against a player and corroborated that accusation with a credit card charge. Yahoo! had NO WAY of actually linking those charges to the players other than Shapiro’s word. This is akin to me telling a reporter that I bought a TV for Tim Tebow in 2008, and as proof, I have my Discover Card statement with a charge at Best Buy. Except in Yahoo!’s case, their use of this non-evidence is even worse because the source is a known liar who is admittedly trying to get the school in trouble.

As part of his sentence, Shapiro has been ordered to pay nearly $83 million in restitution, and he plans to write a book to help raise those funds.

"We thought once this got out, inevitably, there would be someone interested in writing the book," Perez said. "That's how he hopes to make the victims whole."

The paper trail will kill them but the nature of the violations isn't as bad as we all would like. Players weren't stuffing their mattresses, they rode some boats, had a few cocktails and ****.
