Re: UM debacle--upside for Owls?
Another issue, what do you think the ACC thinks of this just after the NC "problems". They will clean house internally as well - they have a reputation to uphold as well. They could conceivably run them out or at minimum put their own bans and restrictions on their "members".
As far as Butch, if I were FIU I would keep him off my campus, seems to be a problem there don't you think - recurring patterns type stuff. DEFINATELY scratch him OFF any FAU coaching search list - along with Shannon. Hire LEACH NOW Mr. Angelos and President Saunders - make some POSITIVE news for FAU while the U sinks. Go Owls! FIll our 30,000 seats for EVERY home game! Go Owls!

This is where Howard and Angelos would come in. Both were part of Miami during the "good ole days", and as far as we know "clean". Folks will remember with fondness Howards tenure with the U and may come out to see his new baby.
Ugly down in Coral Gables to be sure.

The people involved (students and boosters alike) need to be held more accountable. Just being embarassed or trophys taken away like Reggie Bush IS NOT ENOUGH. He gets to sit back and laugh with millions in the bank while he smears his Universitys name, affects the current program and its student athletes and coaches and basically just laugh.
You sign a CONTRACT to play at a University and recieve a scholarship. A CONTRACT is a legal document and breaking it should come with heftier punishments than just handing a trophy back.
The UM debacle would only help FAU if they made a huge splash hire like Leach. But do we really want players that I have to pay for abortions for? I need to start putting money away for these type of things.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Why does the NCAA just not investigate every institution and put every school and team on an even playing field? Does it always have to come to a source even after so many have been hit with this stuff?
Too much money in college athletics for this to happen. It happens EVERYWHERE. Maybe not to this extent that Miami has but most likely EVERY school has something going on. The REAL issue here is not so much that it happened. Its that the Atheletics Department KNEW it was happening and didnt do anything.
