The U.... vol. Death Penalty?

[weaponry expert]

His story keeps crumbling...

http://m.jacksonville.com/spor...-sports-scandal

Former Jaguars administrator and United Football League commissioner Michael Huyghue, implicated by University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro as funneling cash and benefits to UM players in exchange for signing with his now defunct Jacksonville-based sports agency, denied any wrongdoing and says “it’s bogus

Any true sport fan knows that ESPN is for the common/casual sports fan.  They really don't go in depth anymore, and stories hardly break on ESPN.

The only time they seem to beat other outlets to the punch is when they create the news.

I rarely watch ESPN now, and most news I get is via NT, Twitter, numerous blogs and websites (SI, Yahoo, etc) I visit.

This isn't something new, Yahoo! has been on the CFB beat for awhile now, they broke the Reggie/Lloyd Lake story and kept the spotlight on it and we all saw the results.

If you are looking for investigative/legit journalism, ESPN is not the place.  'Cause ESPN guys get their nuts cut off as soon as they sign that dotted line.  The Bruce Feldman fiasco is what ESPN has become, unfortunately there are no competitors on the horizon.

It's going to take a lot more than denials from these "participants" to poke holes in this story.  Charles Robinson stated he wouldn't have published the story if it wasn't corroborated by others.  He even said he left a bunch of names of the list because he couldn't get a 2nd or 3rd party to confirm their participation.

The players, coaches, leeches, etc. have all been identified as being a part of this no only by Nevin Shapiro but by other anonymous/protected sources.

Miami folks are being very optimistic about this, take it one day at a time and let the investigation come to a close.

The death penalty has never been mentioned with USC. Reggie Bush was solely responsible for what happened to our football program (sanctions). I'm not going to get into our basketball conundrum, but as far as football we got *!+%@+ in the %$+ with no vaseline by the NCAA.What happened at Miami & OSU are completely different.

Nevin Shapiro just snitchin' because he feeenished

What they've been showing on ESPN and other sports news outlets has been sensationalist media at its finest, I'm confident that as more days pass more of the truth will come out and this sociopath's faulty claims will be disproved for the most part.

Pretty much, he was their for them. You Miami fans who don't want to believe it, just keep telling yourself he is making it all up.

As of now...there's only one person on record confirming of Shapiro's accusations. Everything else is anonymous and off the record. Last I checked....the word of a convicted con artist and some anonymous sources who aren't willing to go on record weren't enough to prove guilt or wrongdoing. 
Former players who played for UM, and even other school are coming out left and right to say it's BS. People who have no ties to UM and who have nothing to lose or gain by this story. 

This story is the best thing to ever happen to Charles Robinson. Who the hell knew who Charles Robinson was before today? He's been all over TV and radio today because of this. He has person interest in this story because it's making him famous. Shapiro scammed 900 million out of a bunch of rich, smart business men. Fooling some dumb Yahoo reporter would be light work for him. 

If all of this happened, involving so many people, over such a long period of time.....why is only one willing to go on record? Where are these anonymous sources who supposedly exist and why aren't they going on the record if their story holds merit? 

And these aren't just "denials". The facts are finally coming to light. If Shapiro is claiming photos of him and players were taken during 2003 while they were still in school, and the picture was actually taken in 2005 that's not a denial....that's a fact that proves the allegation to be false.

I think dude is salty cause no players or coachs helped him out

looks like he tried to buy his way in the "U" circle but couldnt

he figures since you all didnt help me ima ruin yall lives and university

which is why im glad we have a justice system

im 100% behind the courts and legal system

im gonna let them do the case and if we got caught and what he has is facts......by any means lay the hammer on the "U" (fair is fair).......but if we come off not guilty.......it just might be the fuel to get the swagger on the rise

like we got a statement to make

You guys are too funny.

Who has said he's making it all up?
I'm certain that some of what he says happened is true. I'm also certain that some of what he says happened is false. 

The guy is a professional liar. And what good liars do is mix in the truth with their lies to make you believe that the entire lie is truth. Parts of his story are already getting exposed, and eventually we'll see which parts where true.

I don't see how a few verified credit card charges confirm "eyewitness" accounts by Miami's underbelly of XYZ stacks of cash being rained down for this or that...

All ya'll talkin about SMU being some irrelevant Art school and %$$... THE DEATH PENALTY MADE SMU IRRELEVANT! SMU, A&M & UT were all equal in Texas back then. It's the tactical Nuke for athletic programs... NCAA will not be using this...

His hate is warranted?

A corny dude that was basically paying for college football players to be his friend/make him look good. How did the players turn his back on them? Dude is writing letters from jail trying to extort them.

Naw SMU was never UT or A&M's equal but he cheating helped them get close to them on the field.

If you follow college football you should know who Charles Robinson is and you're a big time football program, you definitely don't want to see Charles Robinson around your school.

Yeah the Yahoo! reporters were saying dude is being completely irrational about everything... He defrauded people with a Ponzi scheme and now he has the nerve to say UM players/admin defrauded him

Karma !%!$@
Through a haze of ganja smoke, liquor, ******* and fishing trips homie thought he had bought made lifelong "friends"

What a lonely poor sap

edit:

Stat SMU was like the Miami of Texas... UF=UT, A&M=FSU... You right SMU doesn't have the long history A&M or UT has.
