January 22, 201313 yr Stewart Mandel @slmandel RT @BFeldmanCBS: Told by source Lville asst Clint Hurtt got call from NCAA (Shapiro case) & "they're pretty much throwing everything at him"
January 22, 201313 yr Author Ironic that this comes out the same day news about former Cane b-ball coach Frank Haith regarding his illegal activities comes out.
January 22, 201313 yr Ironic that this comes out the same day news about former Cane b-ball coach Frank Haith regarding his illegal activities comes out. I'm pretty sure it's from the same investigation.
January 22, 201313 yr I'm pretty sure it's from the same investigation. Correct. The hammer is about to drop on Miami and Haith/Hurtt are in the crossfire for their transgressions...
January 22, 201313 yr At least 6 people are going to get hit with this, is the Death Penalty a possibility from this for Miami? Ex-Miami assistants to be hit with NCAA's dreaded 10.1s - CBSSports.com
January 22, 201313 yr Media in Kentucky is awfully quiet about this, but the storm clouds that have been brewing for a couple of years may finally produce some rain. Pulled this from another board, but here are some snippets regarding Hurtt. --Nevin Shapiro - the former Miami booster who is the main source for this scandal - told federal agents in taped interviews that on two occasions he paid for Hurtt to bring large groups of Hurricanes football recruits to dinner at Miami Beach restaurant Cafe Grazie. --Shapiro claims to have provided Hurtt an interest-free loan of $5,000 ? one $2,500 cash payment and one $2,500 check. Shapiro said during his interviews with federal agents that Hurtt did repay the loans. However, Shapiro said he knew it was an NCAA violation to provide interest-free loans to coaches. --On a Friday night in 2008, Shapiro said Hurtt arranged to bring three Miami recruits ? Andre Debose, Ray-Ray Armstrong and Dyron Dye ? to Shapiro's $6 million Miami Beach mansion for the purposes of the booster recruiting the players. --Hurtt acted as a liaison between Shapiro and Miami recruits on one other occasion, bringing the players to Shapiro's mansion and then taking them to a dinner paid for by the booster. --The following check (signed by Hurtt) obtained by Yahoo would seem to corroborate Shapiro's story about the $2,500 interest-free loan. --Yahoo also obtained phone records which show that Hurtt was in contact with Shapiro while working as a Louisville assistant. The pair texted often right up until the time Shapiro was jailed. Hurtt's last cell phone communication with Shapiro appears to be Feb. 13, 2010. --Though there are no allegations made against him, Cardinal quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is named as being in Shapiro's suite at Dolphin's Stadium along with current Central Florida QB Jeffrey Godfrey, who is accused of accepting improper benefits from Shapiro. --Not exactly a shocker that one of the former players named by Shapiro is oft-troubled former (sort of) U of L linebacker Willie Williams.
January 22, 201313 yr jaredbonshire @jaredbonshire Ouch.....hearing some current big time UL players may be ruled ineligible to play next season. For their sake I hope it's not true.
January 22, 201313 yr Not Jerry Tipton @NotJerryTipton Still no word from the Louisville media on the Clint Hurtt scandal. Guess they're waiting for Tom Jurich to tell them what to say.
January 22, 201313 yr 2011 Miami Hurricanes Football Scandal: How Does It Affect Louisville Football? | Bleacher Report When 5-star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater committed to the Louisville Cardinals football program on December 20, 2010, head coach Charlie Strong effusively praised the man named 2010 Recruiter of the Year and the Cardinals recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach since January of 2010, Clint Hurtt.
January 22, 201313 yr Not Jerry Tipton @NotJerryTipton Still no word from the Louisville media on the Clint Hurtt scandal. Guess they're waiting for Tom Jurich to tell them what to say. The local media had a pre-existing appointment to effusively praise Mayor Fischer for something pointless. I'm sure they've got an appointment for UofL tomorrow.
January 22, 201313 yr Not Jerry Tipton @NotJerryTipton Still no word from the Louisville media on the Clint Hurtt scandal. Guess they're waiting for Tom Jurich to tell them what to say. Eric Crawford had a column up before you posted this.
January 22, 201313 yr Told you guys Charlie Strong was bad for UofL, granted he is not the one under investigation, but he did hire the guy!
January 22, 201313 yr Hurtt is toast. It will have no direct effect on UofL as the NCAA told the university to take no action while the investigation was ongoing. And Bridgewater doesn't appear to be a target, which doesn't surprise me-- the kid is seriously introverted and monastic for a football star.
