Don't worry, if "preacher" Richt refuses to create skullduggery then the rest of the Hurricanes community will take care of it for him. The culture at the U never changes. It's the Miami way.

EXTRA BENEFITS: athletics department staff member helped student-athletes fraudulently receive a total of $212,969 in Pell Grants; cash awards to football student-athletes for game performance. ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT FAILED TO FOLLOW DRUG-TESTING POLICY. UNETHICAL CONDUCT. LACK OF INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL.
As far as I know this is the only NCAA probation case that resulted in a University official receiving federal jail time. From 1989 to 1992, Miami helped players receive more than $220,000 of grants, which federal officials later called "perhaps the largest centralized fraud ... ever committed" against the Pell Grant program. As a result of the scandal, Sports Illustrated ran a cover story suggesting Miami should temporarily shutter the football program and that athletic director Paul Dee should be fired. Tony Russell received 3 years in prison and the University claimed it did not know the football program had employees stealing from the government to pay players. Honestly, a University was stealing money meant to help educate poor people and was using that money to cheat in athletics. Only at Miami could that happen.
