‘Death penalty’ is an option for NCAA in University of Miami scandal
On a day several former Hurricanes recruits now at other schools were cleared by Thursday of accusations made by convicted felon Nevin Shapiro, reports surfaced that the NCAA is not only considering invoking its “willful violators” clause in its investigation at the University of Miami but also will not shy away from using the so-called death penalty.
NCAA president Mark Emmert told USA Today that despite the penalty being used only once before in college football — against Southern Methodist University in 1987 — the association isn’t afraid of taking such a drastic action.
