The NCAA announced findings Tuesday that 12 current Miami football players accepted extra benefits from booster Nevin Shapiro and suspended eight athletes for between one and six games.
Four other players must simply repay the amount of the benefits they received and will be eligible for the Hurricanes’ season opener Monday at Maryland.
The NCAA claimed the players “received varying levels of recruiting inducements and extra benefits from Shapiro and athletics personnel” including “meals, transportation, access to Shapiro’s game suite, drinks, as well as cover charges at two different nightclubs, among others.”
The article goes on to say that the investigation into the allegations of misconduct from 2002 to 2010 is still ongoing.
This is a pretty week start and if there are 12 current players who did in fact receive "benefits" from Shapiro then it stands to reason that there are more from the years in question and the program needs the death penalty.
