and by the way, i never claimed that everything was on the level and i've agreed that it's a massive PR hit. i'm just a realist.

i don't see the fanboy slant The Talking Can keeps referring to. i like to have solid proof before i go off the deep end demanding firings.

it's the most thoroughly sourced investigative piece about booster malfeasance probably ever....

but hey, I'm sure your uninformed, head in the sand, fanboi opinion is probably closer to the truth....

also, i have read the robinson piece about haith. i see questionable activity with the "acknowledged" payment of 10k and some phone calls/texts. i'm not sure of how often boosters interact with coaches, but 85 over a period of five years doesn't seem like THAT much.

Haith has been in contact with Shapiro more than once a month for 5 years, just based on the #'s available....older records were destroyed


during this time, Shapiro was doling out hundred of thousands of dollars to dozens of players and coaching staffs of both football and basketball...


but to you, MU fanboi, it is most likely that Haith had no idea what was happening....never mind that expenses claimed have been verified with bank statements and receipts, and that most players and coaches named are photographed with Shapiro in strip clubs and in restaurants...

So you think it would be worse if Haith had conversed with Shapiro 10 times during the 5 year period (instead of 85 times)?

no, if the 85+ communications happened in 1-2 years vs 5....

and we aren't counting the communication between Shapiro and Haith's assistants, which I'd bet were 5x as many...
