Some of the Miami allegations

From the Illinois perspective, the main takeaway from this story is that Missouri just hired a coach, a Mr. Frank Haith, who was allegedly very cool with an alleged $10,000 cash payment to a recruit.

Yes, I went thru every single one of the player/coaches pages, not thoroughly, but did find some fun (and not so fun) tidbits I shared on the twitter that I'll copy over here below-

Allegations: Devin Hester: "Cash for rims.." ~~ http://t.co/qYYpqHl ~~ http://t.co/N2z2sL1

Allegations: D.J. Williams: For posing for a photo on a yacht like that http://t.co/X6Q2GSJ

Allegations: Antrel Rolle "...he had paid Rolle approximately $40,000 while he was playing for the Hurricanes" http://t.co/AdtPyKu

Allegations: Sean Taylor "A pair of diamond-studded dog tags from Buchwald Jewelers [$26,000]" http://t.co/J3YxgBj

Allegations: Jonathan Vilma "1,000 bounty for a hit & personal foul penalty by Vilma on Florida State QB Chris Rix" http://t.co/pVoMICG

Allegations: Vince Wilfork "A bounty of $500 was paid for a sack and unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by Wilfork vs FSU" http://t.co/ZZQj0Rr

Allegations: DeQuan Jones "Shapiro said head coach Frank Haith acknowledged it [$10k cash] and expressed his gratitude" http://t.co/VewXjHy

Allegations: Ralph Nogueras. Yes, even the assistant equipment manager gets his own page. Kinda boring though, no diamond-studded dog tags

Shapiro alleged he paid a stripper to have sex with a player, she got pregnant, & he paid her $500 to have an abortion without the player's knowledge. "I was doing him a favor," he said. "That idiot might have wanted to keep [the baby]." [link] Deadspin's trying to find out who the alleged stripper-impregnator was.
