The U and The NCAA New Turn

Turn to any sports station website and you will see The NCAA is saying that The U spent $170,000 on unpermissable benefits over a period of years. Basically peanuts compared to what the Shapiro guy told them.....There is also a letter being published from a Senator to the Florida AG asking them to look in to the NCAA practices.

Apparently half of that was spent trying to get a couple of players to sign with a sports agency. Chop that out and they are talking about $80,000 over 9 years. Wrong is wrong but thats not even 5% of the 'millions of dollars' that was originally reported.
Who'da thunk - a con artist obsessed with status lied about the extent of benefits actually provided. Ladies and gentleman: your star witness for the NCAA!

I also never knew the NCAA paid the criminals in the Ohio State case for their information. I have no source on that but remembered someone saying that at some point or reading that somewhere.

I don't think we know Shapiro lied about the amount. The NCAA can only pin Miami down for the amount that they have full proof over. It's not unlike the OSU tatoo-gate where there was seemingly much more going on but the NCAA couldn't get all the info since they don't have subpoena power.
