Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Miami booster Nevin Shapiro alleges he provided an extra benefit to Benard Thomas the summer before the player's senior season at Nebraska. The benefit he claimed to have provided: • In the summer of 2003, Shapiro provided Thomas and two Hurricanes players – Kellen Winslow Jr. and D.J. Williams – with a leisure trip on his yacht that included food, drinks and jet skis. http://sports.yahoo....mas_allegations Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If true, what can the NCAA do? I'm curious because I heard on SportsCenter today that the NCAA has a 4 year window to do something about it. That means they could only do something up to 2007........correct? Link to comment

If that is true, then I guess this is a non-issue. Still interesting, though. Link to comment
HuskerT Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I must not be getting the whole story, so why would a Miami booster be hooking B Thomas up? Link to comment
okaive Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 That my Friends is why you never take a camera with you on those types of events. Link to comment
da skers Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thomas was always a punk. That being said...this shouldn't be an issue for Nebraska. Link to comment
huskerscott Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 That was a dumb investment by Shapiro. Atleast Winslow and Williams made it to the pros. Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Its too late for penalties against Nebraska. Thomas also claimed he wasnt in college at the time. Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I must not be getting the whole story, so why would a Miami booster be hooking B Thomas up? He was a friend of DJ Williams, played High School football with him. He was probably just visiting him. Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Sports Nightly said something about Thomas claiming it happened in 2005 when he wasn't even in school anymore. Don't quote me on that, I just caught the tail end of it. Link to comment
