Miami Hurricanes Hatred Runs Through NCAA

After Miami and Greg Schiano failed to reach an agreement, this blog was infested with Rutgers roaches talking trash as if they just earned a shot at #1 Ohio State in Glendale in January.

I could care less if they want to gloat about keeping their coach, but there were some idiots who were trashing the University of Miami in regards to the Bryan Pata case. At the time CrimeStoppers had a $1,000 reward for information relating to the murder and some of these superfans (even some Canes fans) were questioning why The U wasn’t doing more.

A few things.

First off, the University of Miami stepped up and paid the majority of Pata’s funeral costs as their way of helping the family. They also hosted a memorial service on campus.

Yesterday it was reported that the $1,000 reward is actually a $21,000 reward. The additional money came from donations made through the university, as reported by Omar Kelly in the Sun-Sentinel.

What do you think of that, haters? Maybe you shouldn’t jump to conclusions next time. Trashing the program because the CrimeStoppers reward was only at $1,000 because you didn’t dig beneath the surface to see what The U was doing? None of you I traded emails with knew Miami paid for the funeral. Nor did you know about the scholarship in Pata’s name or the donations the school was soliciting on Pata’s behalf.

At day’s end, the University of Miami more than stepped up did their part. Even before this latest info was release. The funeral and memorial were class act gestures and you can bet the majority of that $21,000 came directly from The U’s efforts.

Do your homework before running your fat mouths next time.
