Don't these assholes feel any remorse?

The latest news in the college football world is that of a Miami Hurricanes booster providing illegal benefits to Canes football players between 2002 and 2010, including big names such as Willis McGahee, Devin Hester, Frank Gore and Jacory Harris. These benefits include sports cars, nights on the town and prostitutes, among other things.

Now obviously this is a big no-no in college football, and proof that the NCAA's current system involving student athletes and "amateur" status is broken and not working. But that's a post for another day. My issue is with the assholes who cause all of these problems.


You may have heard of the awesome ESPN 30 for 30 documentary film "The U," which covered the rise of Hurricane football from a shitfest football team to the most dominating force of the 1980's and early 1990's in college football. Oh, and they had a shitload of problems back then too, ranging from the infamous taunts from the 1991 Cotton Bowl to various drug and gang violence issues.

A year later, they created a similar documentary, Pony Excess, about the SMU death penalty due to rampant cheating and paying recruits. It featured interviews with ex players Craig James, Eric Dickerson, and others, none of which expressed any concern or guilt for what they did to their schools.

Flash forward to today. The Miami booster, Nevin Shapiro, is interviewed from prison (currently serving 0 years for initiating a Ponzi scheme) where he admits to his wrongdoings and then expressed his belief that the NCAA will implement a death penalty on Miami.

The man's tone bothered me. Just like the interviews from Pony Excess, it seemed as if Shapiro felt no guilt for the problems he's causing Miami. Don't these assholes give a damn? For example, the guys who caused the SMU death penalty come onto national TV and bitch about how the university doesn't ever try to contact them or bring them to games or anything. Well duh! Maybe if your sorry asses would either apologize for causing so many problems or accept blame and responsibility for your actions you would be held in a different light.

Shapiro sounded the same way. His tone was serious, almost sounding like he was thinking "yeah I did that and I'm damn proud of it." You've sunk many millions of dollars into this program and you don't care when something like this happens?

Whatever. Like I said earlier, the NCAA needs to use this as an opportunity to revamp their system.
