NCAA To Invoke "Willful Violators" Clause; Voiding Statue Of Limitations

The NCAA informed University of Miami administrators it will consider invoking its “willful violators” clause and make an exception to the traditional four-year statute of limitations in the Nevin Shapiro case, a university source told Yahoo! Sports. Traditionally, the NCAA’s bylaws would only allow it to sanction the Hurricanes for infractions that occurred during the four years prior to receiving a letter of inquiry from investigators. For example, if Miami received a letter of inquiry for a case on Sept. 1, 2011, the NCAA could only sanction the school for applicable violations dating back to Sept. 1, 2007. But the clause – reserved for “a pattern of willful violations” – can spin a probe back to the earliest applicable infractions. Applied to the Shapiro allegations, it means the NCAA could reach as far back to early 2002, when the booster said he began funneling benefits to Hurricanes players.

Gonna change a lot of things Chip. If this investigation uncovers wrong doings as far back as 2003 when the baseball team was on sanctions. If so Miami would be considered a "Repeat Offender" and that wight justify (while I don't agree) implementing the Death Penalty.
