The NCAA announced the sanctions levied against the University of Miami Hurricanes yesterday, with regards to the Nevin Shapiro scandal.
This was a massive scandal that could and very well should have put Miami on the "NCAA death penalty."
The sanctions are:
- loss of 3 scholarships over the next 3 seasons
- 3-year probation period
- recruiting restrictions
- a 5-game suspension for the former head men’s basketball coach
- two-year show-cause orders for two former assistant football coaches and a former assistant men’s basketball coach.
Miami was able to escape worse sanctions than that due to a self imposed bowl ban that the NCAA decided was an acceptable punishment.
What are your thoughts? Did Miami escape serious punishment? Should it be more/less? Should Ohio State or USC be upset with these sanctions?
