I’m not privy to the same information that the NCAA is, but I don’t see how giving Miami the death penalty is good for college football. Completely shutting down a team has only been done once before in the history of NCAA football. The NCAA shut down SMU in 1987 and the school chose to […]

Financially the era began with a $2,500,000 payment to […]
