    I know what went on at Miami, but I cannot find any information on his other violations, if any. What about before Miami?

    Uhh...he covered up positive drug tests and kids' HS coaches were receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars to point them to go to Miami. Among the sanctions imposed on Miami was a loss of 31 scholarships.

    I was wondering if violations had followed him around to any of the other schools, because let's face it - the guy can really coach on the college level.

    But, aside from that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

    I didn't mention the Miami violations because you said you were aware of those.

    1995

    Miami
    Violation: School awarded $412,000 in excessive financial aid as a result of improperly calculating off-campus room and board stipends for 141 football and undetermined number of other athletes. Also, an athletics department staff member allegedly provided extra benefits to approximately 60 to 77 student-athletes by assisting them in fraudulently obtaining a total of $212,969 in Pell Grant funds. School also violated drug-testing procedures.
    Major penalties: 1-year bowl ban, and reduction in new scholarships that could be given out to 18 in '95, 12 in '96 and 14 in '97 (down from the usual maximum of 25).
    Severity of sanctions: 3
    Notable: Butch Davis and the Hurricanes needed the rest of the decade to recover from the damage done during the era of coach Dennis Erickson. But the smaller-than-usual recruiting classes provided the foundation for the successful teams of the past two years because of the experience those players received earlier in their careers.
