That guy is sitting in jail right now thinking "I got those guys back", as if that's really improving his life.
I mean you're talking about kids who an adult threw candy to and he's feeling let down by those kids not coming to his rescue? They're friggin spoiled kids.[/QUOTE]
Disagree. he was looking to guys he had paid who were in the NFL and they said NO THANKS. He felt betrayed so he betrayed them.
And the coaches knew. They HAD to know. Was it not shown that 6 former assistant coaches were proven to have known?
Two wrongs dont make a right. But more importantly, this was an adult that had kids over for a party so he'd feel important in life. He pays for their "parties". I can't imagine ANY situation in life where I'd really believe that those kids didn't just move on. To think that he was so sick that he felt betrayed that they didn't return the love is pure folly.
I am not defending Miami, but generally I know that this sort of thing goes on everywhere. Sometimes it gets out of control (like Miami's did), sometimes not so much. The real test will be if Miami's AA was involved.
Regarding coaches, Haith looks like toast, but every other program the assistants know when something is up. They all turn their back on all kinds of things. And how could they not? A poor kids shows up to practice wearing a pair of $300 sneakers. It happens all the time; the coach just isn't going to get involved unless it's pushed right INTO his face.
Generally, from what I've read, the Miami story is great drama for the media to follow ("I paid for an abortion..."), but generally it's a lot about $200 here and there, that got out of control with a thug.
