AP Source: Tide froze football staffer's contract

Alabama has penalized director of football operations Joe Pannunzio for his role in the Miami scandal while a member of the Hurricanes' staff, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the university didn't release the name. Alabama posted 31 secondary violations on its Web site Thursday involving a number of sports for the year ending June 30.

Alabama said the staffer received no raise or contract extension for one year, wasn't allowed to communicate with recruits for 90 days and had to attend an NCAA regional rules seminar.

Pannunzio isn't identified in the notice of allegations the NCAA brought against Miami. Alabama said its staffer "provided impermissible benefits to a prospect and his family and introduced prospect to a booster while at another institution."

That booster was Nevin Shapiro, the central figure in the Miami scandal.

Pannunzio was one of the former Miami assistant coaches accused of having ties with Shapiro, the former booster and convicted felon who's now serving a 20-year term in federal prison for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme.

Pannunzio, however, was not among the former Hurricane coaches accused of wrongdoing by the NCAA, which investigated Miami for about two years before presenting the Hurricanes with their charges — the notice of allegations — on Feb. 19.

The document prepared by Alabama's compliance office said the staffer it didn't identify might have been in violation of six bylaws, all of which fell under Article 13, or recruiting.

Miami appeared before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions in June, and current football coach Al Golden said earlier this week that the Hurricanes expect "closure" to the saga soon. A decision by the committee on infractions about further sanctions, if any, against the Hurricanes could come within the next few weeks, and the school is hopeful to hear sometime in August.

At Miami, Pannunzio was a tight ends coach and special teams coordinator.

Alabama also reported six other violations against the football program, which has won the past two national championships. In one case, members of the coaching staff were cited for going over the allowed number of off-campus contacts with a prospect. The involved coaches were barred from recruiting off-campus for the first week of the spring evaluation period, received letters of admonishment and rules education.

Wait, Coach midget stated that the coaches he hired from Miami, that he and the Ath. Dept. did a thorough investigation into that matter.

So, Pannunzio's cheating ways stopped after he got fired from Murray State as the HC or after he was immediately hired by Miami? LMAO, oookay!!!

Also, why didn't anyone ever hear about this, until now? Where's the State media, with shovels and torches in hand, to dig up anything and everything? Because if this was Auburn, you'd better bet on it that they would be all over it and they'd give all of their findings to the NYtimes, RECspn and any other news outlets.

I wonder which prospect it was...and are the uat coaches a bunch of retards that they need to have their 245th "rules education" class?

* Like that even matters when discussing their football program's NCAA violations, lol.

Alabama just released the secondary violations rules report yesterday.  Unless you work in the compliance department, or are one of the coaches, I don't know how the media could have known about the contract issue. 

He was hired at Alabama in February 2011.  The scandal didn't break until August 2011.  If you stop being retarded for two seconds, Saban says they did an NCAA investigation regarding compliance, etc.  Also, in the story about Murray State, it states clearly that the issues he had with the president of the university did not involve NCAA rules violations.  So, if the Murray State president's beef had nothing to do with NCAA violations, and the Miami story hadn't broken yet, how were there supposed to be any red flags on Pannunzio with the NCAA?  Same goes for Stoutland.  Now, both of them fucked up at Miami.  Don't get me wrong.  Pannunzio didn't get mentioned in the notice of allegations against Miami, but I think that Stoutland did.  After the story broke, Stoutland's contract got frozen as well.  After the end of the season, he left for the NFL.

Baaaa...

Don't make me go there again.

Now, both of them fudgeed up at Miami. Don't get me wrong.  Pannunzio didn't get mentioned in the notice of allegations against Miami, but I think that Stoutland did.  After the story broke, Stoutland's contract got frozen as well.  Therefore, my assertion that they didn't do similar shady stuff at the Crackstone is the kind of blatant homerism my fanbase is built on. Rowl Dam Tahd!

FIFY

The Yahoo story broke in 2011, that's correct, but word was already getting around a year earlier when Shapiro was talking about writing a book. So, uat hired not one but two coaches that were involved in the Massive cheating going on at Miami. The only reason why Pannunzio wasn't mentioned in the notice of allegations, along with a another coach, was because they were the ones "spilling the beans".
