CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- The NCAA has found what it calls ''a very severe issue of improper conduct'' committed by former members of its own enforcement program during the Miami investigation, and will not deliver the long-awaited notice of allegations against the Hurricanes until an external review is completed.

NCAA President Mark Emmert announced the findings Wednesday. The sports governing body said former enforcement staff members worked with the criminal defense attorney for former Miami booster and convicted Ponzi scheme architect Nevin Shapiro ''to improperly obtain information ... through a bankruptcy proceeding that did not involve the NCAA.''

I don't get it.

Testimony, documents, etc., involved in a bankruptcy case is generally public information unless sealed by a court (sealing of records doesn't happen much, even in the bankruptcies of the notorious). Transcripts (and copies of exhibits) are available to anyone without a subpoena, and pleadings are public records posted on web sites. I suppose banking records, tax returns, etc., are documents that some trustees might not produce for the public without a subpoena, but generally trustees cooperate with third parties looking for information about a debtor's property and transactions.

Debtors in bankruptcy have "fifth amendment" rights, but as I understand it the debtor is responsible for information being provided from his bankruptcy to the NCAA.

Nevin Shapiro was also singing like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to anyone who would listen about what he did, who with, and even had the reciepts to prove it. Emmert and his NCAA are an embarrassment...

I don't get it.

Seriously, NCAA trying to finds ways to let Miami off the hook so going after their own investigators who found too much evidence against the program. They were told not to get too deep into the misdoings....

Same reason NCAA never looked into fed investigation or findings against the former Suntrust majority shareholder and related funding of recruiting activity at Auburn.

How convenient. The NCAA is a bigger joke than the United Nations.

Meanwhile, the Boise State program suffers for illegal pizza...

Embarrassing is right: Bankruptcy records are available to anyone, and most are on line now anyway. You don't have to be "a party" to a case to look at them. Not to mention, the already public stuff should be enought for anyone with a brain.
Plus the Hurricancanes can't fill their stadium. . . .should be drummed out oft the corps.

NCAA just found another way to avoid doing their job.

 

[God Dog]

Emmert is an embarrasment. Suddenly he cares about process. What an effin joke.

Obviously MBB was inspired by the investigation and took out their frustration on Duke.

Their interests are not in the least bit sincere. All they care about is giving the appearence of being politically correct and sensitive. This is a perfect example...Oh, while we found a ton of evidence to convict you, since we didnt go about it to the letter of our stupid laws, you are innocent.

Fn BS liberal, communist, answers to no one, crap organization...
