Ivan Maisel reminices about the late Paul Dee
I didn't know Paul Dee.
I would venture to guess that many outside the upper echelons of the NCAA didn't know Paul Dee either.
At least not the Paul Dee that Ivan Maisel describes here...
Former Miami athletic director Paul Dee, who died Saturday night at age 65, was a gentle man and a gentleman who loved his university and served it in various roles for three decades. Dee, an attorney by trade, shunned the spotlight and valued loyalty. He brought back former ‘Canes assistant Butch Davis as head coach. He promoted assistants Larry Coker and Randy Shannon as his next two hires. USC fans never forgave him for his role as chair of the NCAA Committee on Infractions when it ruled on the Reggie Bush scandal. Yet those who knew him knew a man of integrity and a good guy.
I vehemently disagree about Dee being a man of integrity.
His famous quote of "high-profile players demand high-profile compliance" will live on forever...especially when a mere fifteen months later, the very university that Maisel claims that Dee loved so much was caught in a scandal that was far greater than the one that Dee hammered USC for.

The USC women's team beat Fairfield 4-0 in the 1st round, then take down Vanderbilt 4-1 in there 2nd round match to advance to the round of 16 at Athen's Georgia starting May 17. It has been awhile since they have made it to the final rounds site, this as the #5 seed and #4 ranked team in the nation with a 22-3 overall record.

Then it was on to the singles where #1 Steven Johnson with 6-0, 6-1 win over Dan Sauter, next was Ray Sarmiento at #2 single with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Ian Testamond putting the trojans ahead 3-0.
