I think the issues here are the coaches and university's participation with this booster. From the guy's story on yahoo, it seems like the university knew (or certainly should have known) what was going on and did nothing. Further, it seems that there has been an historic practice of a "designated booster" to do the "money" activities. It is hard to believe that the university was unaware of what was going on.

Obviously, if the players are ruled ineligible, they'll have to either forfeit or vacate any wins, but we've seen how much that hurts with the FSU academic scandal (that is, not at all). On the other hand, if they lose holding the players out, they still have to keep those losses. --Jong On Aug 17, 12:53 pm, Woody <[email protected]> wrote: > well... if your miami... you sit your players out.. which they are not > doing..and if it comes out taht they played a game and they were > inelligible... that hammer.. suddenly becomes a jackhammer. > -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
