I haven't said much about this as I have just been laying low and enjoying this unfold in south Florida. Most of my UM buddies wont talk about it or quickly change the subject.
The part I find most disgraceful and disgusting, not to mention a full out slap in the face of the NCAA, is that Nevin had the nickname of Lil Luke. The name synonymous with their last major issue and beat down. They are smirking at the authority... I don't give a crap. Drop the hammer. Expose all these "fans" for what they are-- feel good, good times, crap talking, living in the past, people supporting a school that never did anything without violations associated to the rings. Screw UM. ScUM. L,S. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

I'd rather they just get crippling sanctions that would make them struggle to get to three wins every year - which currently, isn't that far of a fall anyway. We'd get more of the guys out of Miami that we really want, and the others can go cause trouble at FSU, USF, UCF, FIU, et. al.

There's been a lot of talk about the death penalty for Miami, and while I don't think the NCAA has enough spine to actually invoke it, I started thinking about what might happen in relation to the Gators. At SMU, I seem to recall that the players were allowed to transfer without penalty. I would assume it would happen in this case too. If so, I would expect to see more transfer to FSU or USF than UF. That would give FSU a solid pipeline in South Florida, and possibly make USF a major player in college football. FSU establishing a steady flow of talent from Miami could make them a national "it" team again. USF could start keeping more of the Tampa talent at home if they become the third of the Big 3. Neither situation plays out well for UF. While I would love to see scUM obliterated by the NCAA, I selfishly have to wonder whether it would be better for us if they just get serious scholarship reductions. While this would still redirect some players to other schools, there wouldn't be the wholesale diaspora, and long-term, it would be better for the Gators.
