whats funny is that people say miami is a thug school and use the fact that they came very close to the "death penalty" as the reason.....without actually knowing that their probation had ntohing to do with on or off the field behavior.......and had everything to do with the NCAA rules about athletes being paid

while using that flawed logic.....those same people never refer to SMU as thug u and they did get the death penalty from the NCAA which is worse than miamis probation.......and again NCAA probation has nothing to do with thuggish behavior

as mega just pointed out......PUS gets a pass because everybody loves joe pud........then they are thug u

okay then.. kewl...Miami is an elite college football program and never did anything to warrent the death penalty.. Awesome! Hope everyone can run a program like that. Thanks for clearing this up for me!

Nobody is saying that Miami has been innocent of all wrongdoing over the years, however other programs have had their share of off the field issues. There have been many schools whose programs didn't get the media microscope that Miami received because they were not elite programs. VT was under the radar for years until Beamer got the program going for example. Now that VT has become one of the better programs in the nation everytime a young man screws up, it hits the media (the price that is paid for success) The cleanup at Miami began with Butch, and the program has had at VERY LEAST no more off the field issues in the last decade than many other schools (such as VT,Penn State and UT).

look.....im not saying they didnt do anything to warrant NCAA probation.......THEY DID......but what im saying is that just because you are on NCAA probation for monetary violations.....that in no way is thuggish behavior.....and to point to that as a justification for calling miami "thug u" is idiotic

secondly in the last 10 years or so......weve had alot less off the field incidents than alot of schools.....PUS, VT, F$U, UiF, Tenn.......all off the top of my head have had more

yet miami is still "thug u"

why is that?
