Nebraska is not the jailhouse you've made it out to be. Any criminal activity at Nebraska is no different than at any other major college football school. Generally people just point to Lawrence Phillips and no one else, espically within the past 8-9 years. rolleyes:[/quote:8f448]
I did indeed refer to Phillips because this latest event with Clarett made me instantly think of him.

Although this made me laugh quite a bit.

[quote="Sicilian_Summers":8f448]The same goes for Miami. Butch Davis/Larry Coker have run a clean program.[/quote:8f448]

Tell me that Ricky Williams never smoked at Miami. Or is that not a violation of policy there.

The team also have their own police blotter for recruiting lol.

Miami Hurricanes make police blotter, but in self-defense
Tuesday, 25 July 2006
Back in the days when JIMMY JOHNSON was coaching the University of Miami football team the Hurricanes were winning consistently but they were so out of control off the field the president of the university ordered a cleanup of the program. Maybe the university football team will regain its old form now that the Hurricanes are back in the crime news again, although this time as victims. WILLIE COOPER, a reserve safety, was shot in the buttocks Friday in front of his home in South Miami.
Starting safety BRANDBN MERIWEATHER pulled out a pistol and fired three times at the assailant as he jumped over a fence but apparently missed. The question is: Why was Meriweather carrying a gun?
When Penn State won the 1986 national championship by defeating heavily favored Miami in the Fiesta Bowl, 14-10, the Hurricanes arrived in Arizona wearing Army combat outfits. Their pre-game publicity in Arizona was mostly negative. Johnson said it took him years to get over that loss.
One year, when Miami played Notre Dame, the game was billed as the Convicts vs. the Catholics, which went over like a lead balloon with the Miami administration.
On the plus side, the Hurricanes may be getting rid of one player with a record. WILLIE WILLIAMS, who received a football scholarship two years ago despite being arrested 11 times wants to transfer. He wants more playing time, Standard-Speaker syndicated columnist TOM Fitzgerald pointed out Sunday.
