For Miami, there's little celebrating as NCAA probation ends

For the Miami Hurricanes, one of the most tumultuous chapters in program history is officially ending.

Saturday marked the end of the three-year NCAA probation period stemming from the investigation into the actions of former booster Nevin Shapiro, a convicted Ponzi schemer, who said he doled out thousands of dollars worth of improper benefits to Miami athletes for years.

Those allegations brought forth a protracted investigation into the Hurricanes athletic program, forced Miami's football team to self-impose a three-game postseason ban, as well as recruiting restrictions, and ultimately ended with the NCAA docking the Hurricanes nine football scholarships and three basketball scholarships over the course of three years.
