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.
