Miami booster Nevin Shapiro alleges he had improper recruiting contact with Orson Charles after the player’s junior year in high school. Among the booster’s allegations:

Charles visited Shapiro’s $6 million Miami Beach mansion in 2008 with his high school coach Robert Weiner and then-Hurricanes quarterback Robert Marve.

Shapiro knowingly had impermissible contact when he gave Charles a tour of his home while pitching a potential commitment to Miami. At the time, the Hurricanes were recruiting Charles.

Yahoo Sports: Renegade Miami football booster spells out illicit benefits to players

quote:

---

KEARNEY, N.J. – A University of Miami booster, incarcerated for his role in a $930 million Ponzi scheme, has told Yahoo! Sports he provided thousands of impermissible benefits to at least 72 athletes from 2002 through 2010.

In 100 hours of jailhouse interviews during Yahoo! Sports’ 11-month investigation, Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro described a sustained, eight-year run of rampant NCAA rule-breaking, some of it with the knowledge or direct participation of at least seven coaches from the Miami football and basketball programs. At a cost that Shapiro estimates in the millions of dollars, he said his benefits to athletes included but were not limited to cash, prostitutes, entertainment in his multimillion-dollar homes and yacht, paid trips to high-end restaurants and nightclubs, jewelry, bounties for on-field play (including bounties for injuring opposing players), travel and, on one occasion, an abortion.

The NCAA is a reactive body,

The Columbus paper reported this issue, Georgia looked into it, and sent it to the SEC/NCAA

The NCAA ONLY looked into this because the Columbus paper wrote about it.

If the Columbus paper didn't get the police documents, then this wouldn't have become public knowledge.

And that is the problem with the NCAA, they aren't big enough to monitor college football, which is the reason for the inconsistencies

Mike Slive was on point with his proposals during SEC Media Days, but this is beyond ridiculous and should never happen.
