Nevin Shapiro is out for blood at Miami
Remember Nevin Shapiro? Refresh your memory. This was the guy, the former University of Miami Hurricanes booster, that dimed out the entire football and basketball programs after going to jail for running a ponzi scheme.

Miami distracts own kicker before field goal
Miami beat South Florida 6-3 Saturday on a 36-yard field goal from Jake Wieclaw as time expired in Tampa. What was strange about the field goal is what transpired prior to Wieclaw’s attempt.

The Miami Hurricanes make an Early Splash on National Signing Day
Even as a Miami Hurricanes fan, I would find it hard to accept a scholarship if I were offered one. If I were an elite athlete looking to compete in Division I football, the Miami Hurricanes would have to really try to bring me a good effort for me to sign. Firstly, the obvious Nevin Shapiro scandal will eventually cripple the privileges of the program. Secondly, the team is not...
