CORAL GABLES?
The University of Miami received its notice of allegations from the NCAA?on Tuesday, signaling?the beginning of the end of what has been a two-year-long probe into the Hurricanes athletic department.
The Associated Press first reported that Miami had received the notice.??
UM president Donna Shalala released a statement on the notice of allegations, saying: "Many of the charges brought forth are based on the word of a man who made a fortune by lying... Many of the allegations included in the notice of allegations remain unsubstantiated."
Shalala did not comment further when approached by reporters at Tuesday night's basketball game with Virginia. The president was protected by a UM media relations official and a police officer. Her statement was released midway through the second half of the 54-50 win that tied a school record for its 14th straight victory.
Shalala also said "the fabricated story played well - the facts did not" in reference to Nevin Shapiro's sordid account of his violations to Yahoo! two years ago, which made the NCAA's probe public. ?
Since then, Miami has self-imposed penalties of bowl bans, scholarship reductions and player suspensions over the past two years.?
A school official also said the full notice of allegations was not expected to be made public. UM is a private institution not subject to open records requests.
On Monday, the NCAA announced it had fired it's vice president of enforcement, Julie Roe Lach, after the organization looked into power abuses in its probe of Miami.?
The NCAA has also had its director of enforcement, Bill Benjamin, resign during the probe.
Miami has 90 days to respond to the notice of allegations. UM is expected to work quickly to find resolution.?
