This serves as a reminder that just because they signed Richt...we shouldn't all begin to act like we STILL don't have the worst ****ing administration in the country.
I'm not even kidding. I've sat in on more board meetings for various large organizations than I can remember over the years and I'd be willing to bet every dollar I have to my name that the ****ing morons calling the shots at the University of Miami are easily the most clueless bunch of decision makers that have ever been assembled to make decisions within an NCAA program.
They hired a new coach...but what Frenk REALLY needs to do is clean house everywhere else within the program. The root of problem that has dragged this program down for the last 10-15 years is still there and just waiting for another opportunity to **** this up for us again.
So where did the administraton mess up in this situation?
Please elaborate.
Let's look at a little history. Pell Grant scandal was caused by a drug ridden salaried member of the administration, not a coach. Since some football players got grants, it became a NCAA thing. Other students got them also but nobody cared. The entire thing was more the fault of the administration than sports. But the administration is part of the NCAA so it did not get punished -- that is not how the system works.
Next comes the little midget deal. The administration got much more money than all the players combined. Who got punished? Randy told everyone that the dude was bad news and to stay away from him. AD, an administrator, berates him for not playing the game. Donna had photo op taking illegal money. Players, suspensions and repayment; Randy, fired and has to sue for his buy out; Donna allowed to retire with full benefits for a cushy new job at, where else, The Clinton Family Slush fund.
The administration does not merely mishandle these matters in way that are major college athletics malpractice, but has actually been, at the very least, at the center of two of the biggest scandals in NCAA history. Maybe they handled this one to perfection but their history demands they be considered guilty until proven otherwise -- there really is no reason to doubt it. The excuse that THEY are still under probation is funny. Kind of like a con out on probation running over a cop because he would have his probation violated if he got caught speeding.
:q3XKXeX: pure bunk.
1. "a drug ridden salaried member of the administration"? Who exactly are you speaking of and what was his title? I'm certain he does not constitute anyone "calling the shots at the University of Miami".
2. And Nevin conned a lot of people. Yes, Randy had his suspicions but you try to link Donna to the situation as if she knew dude and personally reprimanded Randy. By now that picture has been well chronicled; Shapiro ran up on the scene unannounced with a check that was returned and commitment he never followed though on.
This is the same Donna Shalala who above all supported Randy to have the HC job in the first place. So you confuse yourself with these limp-wristed aspersions about administrative malpractice. You clearly have no significant ties to the U and adopt this rather typical 2 dimensional narrative adopted by similarly informed fans.
Blame the BOT. They make real decisions and call "shots at the University of Miami". Most people outside the U don't understand that, and those 2 weak examples don't constitute administrative maleficence.
Come again.
