Another day, another story about more corruption in the NCAA’s case against the University of Miami.

Ho hum. Business as usual for president Mark Emmert his thuggish cronies.

The latest report has to do with Stephanie Hannah, the NCAA director of enforcement who took over for the fired Ameen Najaar – the yahoo who boldy wrote a letter to a judge, praising the efforts of Nevin Shapiro and going as far as to state that the NCAA could someday hire the jailed con-man upon his release.

It seems Hannah picked right up where her predecessor left off, attempting to use Shapiro attorney Maria Elena Perez to help build the NCAA’s case against Miami – yet another detail college athletics’ governing body chose to omit from their self-commissioned report regarding their handling of the case.

Miami president Donna Shalala and UM are coming out guns blazing in the next forty-eight hours, with a motion to dismiss that will be submitted to the NCAA on Friday.

Besides the tactics of Najaar and Hannah, Miami will also allege that NCAA investigators lied to interview subjects, coaxing them into revealing incriminating information with fabricated tales about what other subjects had stated. UM is claiming this behavior was unethical.

Beyond that, UM will claim that significant charges made against UM in the NCAA’s notice of allegations have been uncorroborated by anyone other than Shapiro and that tainted evidence hasn’t been fully purged from the case, as promise.
