Dee was Miami AD from 1993-2008. He was on the Infractions Committee from 2001-2010 (there is a 9 year limit) and served as the chairman from 2008-2010. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/15446543/miamis-exad-new-poster-child-for-college-football-hypocrisy

Interesting fact I just learned about Paul Dee he was also the interim AD in 1991 (Dave Maggard was AD 1991-1993), so he was around for the most of the pell grant fraud not just the end of it. http://hurricanesports.cstv.com/school-bio/mifl-school-bio-ad.html

Wow! That was a long read......a lot of information and stories.

To be honest, it kind of makes my stomach a little uneasy. It paints a picture of just how dirty college athletics can be. While this is and exceptional example of what can happen, I'd be willing to bet that stuff like this goes on at a majority of the high profile programs around big cities, in some form, at some level. This was not an isolated incident by one man either. His partner at his sports marketing business was confirmed by an ex-player to be paying and providing benefits.

This is nothing new and I'm sure this stuff is still going on all the time. The only way these types of things will be largely eradicated is with sweeping changes that hold coaches AND players accountable. In case any of you missed Geoff Schwartz's piece addressing these kinds of things, check out: Players Don't Respecet the NCAA; It's Time For Change. Our brilliant Oregon alum was spot on in assessing the current situation and how to correct it.

I am certainly no USC sympathizer but it’s rather curious how hard they got hit compared to others with much more serious and widespread violations. If this turns out to be true……man, it don’t look good for the U. This is like a hundred levels higher than free tattoos and selling gear!

Maybe, I see it this way, according to the NCAA current players can transfer out ala USC without sitting out the 1 yr, and any verbles can change their destination, as they have not signed their LOI. So the kids answer is abandon ship and go to a clean program. The U then sinks which is not a bad thing in my book.

I guess this is good news for FSU, Florida, South Florida, and every other Florida school. I wouldn't be surprised to see a flood of decommittments in the coming weeks and months.

It's difficult to tell exactly how much the school knew about this but it seems safe to assume that they didn't make any attempt to find out. This is college football at its worst. This Nevin character and his partner are slime bags. I'm glad he's behind bars. This guy makes Will Lyles look like a Saint!
