Keep Talking Mr. Dee...

. . . . . it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he chooses to be uncooperative to this Miami-investigation. The guy is a dirtbag and the only thing impressive about him is his lack of shame.

All signs point to him being an uber-prick, and so considering he has very intimate knowledge about the ins- and outs of NCAA enforcement- I’m sure he’ll find a way to legally keep himself out of harm’s way. It would be the only way to help to soften the blows that are sure to hit Coral Gables Funhouse U.

But, Paul Dee walking into the COI will be a farce. They will almost certainly treat their former colleague w/ kid gloves. The foxes who guard the henhouse stick together.

. . . . I’m wondering if Reggie Bush will FINALLY TALK TO Paul Dee?

Shit! Now that I think about it, Reggie Bush DID THIS TO the Miami Hurricane program. Without Reggie Bush, no way Paul Dee gets this type of guff from people.

No. Way!

Let’s see, offering to pay $1 million to coach the team for a year, not extraordinary????

Dee said of USC:

,
“The general campus environment surrounding the violations troubled the committee. At least at the time of the football violations, there was relatively little effective monitoring of, among others, football locker rooms and sidelines, and there existed a general postgame locker room environment that made compliance efforts difficult.”

But at the U:

Dee said Shapiro never asked for anything extraordinary, and was treated like all the other boosters who made substantial donations. He was given sideline passes for a few football games a year, but that is a common courtesy.

Seems like Miami got what it asked for. If someone wanted access to their future NFL players, all they had to do was give money to the U. And guess what…a guy who was both booster and agent did exactly that, and epic violations followed. Can’t think of better phrases to characterize the practices at Miami than those that Dee used to describe USC…“little effective monitering” and an “environment that made compliance efforts difficult”. If nothing else, where was the “high-profile compliance” for Miami’s “high profile players”?

Dee is abolutely right. There were “red flags”, Shapiro “should have been on their radar”, and Miami “should have know” about the violations. It seems impossible that Miami wouldn’t have know about violations if they’d checked. Heck, half of the coaching staff did know about the violations…and they had their eyes closed.

is anyone aware if charges can be brought on dee? with the right evidence i would think some kind of conspiritory issues, interference with due process as well as corruption charges could be brought to the ncaa or civil courts. Anyone a specialist on this catagory of law?

So whatever is the poor embattled NCAA ever to do? Do they take the (gospel) word of yet another ex-con and so filet one of their own in the process?… and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Or do they once again concoct a brand new improvisation of inaction and/or injustice therein refueling the copious arguments against the “one-off” “collector’s item only” ruling new being enforced against USC? I mean you gotta love it… only the mixture of the NCAA and a few ex-cons could make Congress look good.

.. . . I"m left wondering: Where’s Coach Randy Shannon in all this? Didn’t he get fired for doing well over there in Miami?

As I said, in the article, the guy points out that a big gap in Shapiro’s “influence” with Miami football players starts and ends with Coach Shannon telling his coaches and players to stay far away from Shapiro. Then doesn’t Shapiro even admit as much with Robinson and Wetzel?

Dee is up shit creek if ex-Coach Shannon spills his guts out to NCAA Enforcement. What if Shannon TOLD DEE and HOCUTT that he thought Shapiro was punkass prick and warned them of his coziness with players and coaches?

This wouldn’t make it a “should have known” investigation- this would make it a willful violator investigation.

Dee hung USC from the highest sanctions pole. He was “jealous” of us, as Mike Garrett said, and he couldn’t fairly poke holes in USC’s defense of having difficulty monitoring LaMarr Griffin out in San Diego-area. USC should have definitely been held accountable for Bush, no two ways about it. But from back in ’04? No way.

Dee hit us where he and the NCAA knew it would painfully hurt us. Our championship season. That was way uncalled for.

Now look at Paul Dee and his Hurricane program. I hope Randy Shannon reams Dee a new asshole. That fatfuck has a huge crack in his, he needs a new one.

“athletic” director, I have a different vision in my mind than that of Paul Dee. However, when I think of people who are still upset at the decision in Brown v. Board of education……….
