The University of Miami (FL) football team is in trouble again.
This time, the consequences could be severe - but you didn't need me to tell you that.
Details of the current mess at The U. is right here at the source of the story, Yahoosports.com.

Two things come to my mind when I read or think about this latest incident:

1) Every Division One college football program probably has done, is doing or will do something like this. Yeah, I said it. See the SEC, see USC, see Ohio State, see Florida State, see Michigan, see North Carolina, see Georgia Tech, see Oregon, see....well, pick a Division 1 program, toss it up in the air and see what falls out.
2) The folks in charge at the University of Miami (FL) had to know something was quite amiss around this Nevin Shapiro person. By folks in charge, I mean the university president, the board of trustees, the athletic director, the football coaches, the assistant football coaches and on down the line. Yeah, I said it. I'm certain all of this happened in a vacuum, or in a quiet dorm room in the athletic compound - like when a bunch of football players and other assorted "guests" got together on Mr. Shapiro's yacht to party....shake that boat sideways and tell me know one in the school administration knew anything about this Shapiro guy.

Maybe they didn't know.
Maybe they didn't want to know.
(Kinda like the folks at Ohio State that somehow didn't recognize or think it strange that their starting quarterback kept showing up at practices driving a different new vehicle  - every other week. Looks like Jim Tressel is taking the hit for that one because I guess he's the only person on the Ohio State campus that has good eyesight.)

There is one unverifiable fact - every Division One college football program probably has done, is doing or will do something like this.
There is one verifiable fact - the University of Miami (FL) seems to have done this, and for a long time, and has gotten caught.

I am a Florida State graduate and have no love for the Hurricanes.
In this case I am not going to pile on.
My favorite Seminoles have had multiple problems with the NCAA for similar reasons and for other issues. An entire season of wins was removed due to a test-taking/grade scandal a few years back that served to knock then head coach Bobby Bowden out of the running for all-time winningest college football coach.
I know how scandals can hit a college football team.

Does anyone remember SMU football in 1986-87?
The Mustangs went hooves up two full seasons.

The kind of thing that seems to have happened at The U. has happened, is happening and will happen all around us. No one in the arena of college football is blameless.

...well, except for Vanderbilt University.
The Commodores have never come under a wave of a scandal in their football program.

That's exactly what we need -
Three loud cheers for Vanderbilt University.
The Commodores' party will go on.
