Mizzou basketball coach Frank Haith named in Miami booster scandal
Coming off the great news that ESPN’s College GameDay will roll into Columbia for the Mizzou-KU game in February, new men’s basketball coach Frank Haith has been swept up in allegations of NCAA violations at Miami University where Haith was head coach from 2003 until earlier this year.
Yahoo! Sports released a massive investigative story into thousands of alleged improper benefits that Nevin Shapiro, a former booster, says he gave to Miami athletes over several years. Shapiro, who is serving a 20-year federal prison term for running a Ponzi scheme, gave the Miami basketball program $50,000 in 2008. The photo on the right is of Haith, Shapiro and Miami University president Donna Shalala who is allegedly holding the donation check from Shapiro.
