Directly from our Rivals Board:  

In summary a booster threatened to go public saying that he had given a player money if not given 10k by the assistant coach and Haith.  For awhile people thought the money was being given to a player, but that's not the case. There is also reported to be no paper trail on the money ever being exchanged. Personally I don't think this investigation will amount to much and neither does our editor over at the Rivals board.  

Apparently a booster got pissed that Haith was leaving and threatened to ruin him, or at least that's what it seems.

Basketball Allegations

14. [NCAA Bylaw 11.1.2.1]







NOTICE OF ALLEGATIONS
to

Frank Haith




<img alt="page1image2120" height="0.480000" style="border: 0px; max-height: 305px !important;" width="109.010000" />






It is alleged that after June 10, 2010, through the time that his employment ended at the
institution in March 2011, Frank Haith (Haith), then head men's basketball coach, failed
to promote an atmosphere for compliance within the men's basketball program.
Specifically, Haith was aware that Nevin Shapiro (Shapiro), a representative of the
institution's athletics interests, threatened that unless Jake Morton (Morton), then
assistant men's basketball coach, or Haith provided money to Shapiro, Shapiro would
make public a claim that Shapiro provided money to assist in the recruitment of a men's
basketball prospective student-athlete. After learning of the threat, Haith failed to alert
anyone in the athletics department administration about Shapiro's threat, ask reasonable
questions of Morton to ensure that Shapiro's claim lacked merit or disclose the fact that
Morton engaged in financial dealings with Shapiro. Rather, Haith gave Morton funds
that Morton then provided to Shapiro.

Dear Chancellor Deaton:

The purpose of this letter is to advise you that the NCAA enforcement staff has
been reviewing information concerning possible violations of NCAA legislation
in the men's basketball program at University of Miami (Florida). Frank Haith,
head men's basketball coach at the University of Missouri, Columbia, was
formerly employed as the head men's basketball coach at Miami (Florida). He
was interviewed by the enforcement staff concerning his knowledge of or
involvement in possible violations of NCAA legislation during his employment at
Miami (Florida). The interviews were conducted in the presence of
representatives from Miami (Florida).



As a result of the enforcement staff's review of available information, a notice of
allegations, which includes specific allegations in the sport of men's basketball,
has been forwarded to Donna Shalala, president of Miami (Florida). Mr. Haith
has been named and is at risk for his involvement in Allegation No.14. A copy of
this allegation and the cover letter sent to Mr. Haith are enclosed.



This letter is to inform you of Mr. Haith's alleged involvement in violations
during his employment at Miami (Florida). Although there is no institutional
responsibility on the part of Missouri for possible violations involving Mr. Haith,
please be advised that action could be taken that would limit Mr. Haith's
athletically related duties at Missouri for a designated period if he is found in
violation by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions or the NCAA
Division I Infractions Appeals Committee. In this regard, please review the
provisions of NCAA Bylaws 18.4.2.1.1.2, 19.01.4 and 19.5.2.2-(l).



Representatives of Missouri will be provided an opportunity to attend the
Committee on Infractions hearing when this case is considered during an
upcoming meeting. You will be notified of the actual time, date and location well
in advance of this meeting. Please contact Stephanie Hannah, NCAA director of
enforcement, of this office (who is supervising the handling of this case) if you
have any questions.

There is no trace of the money so I doubt anything will come from it. Also in the allegations against Morton, they don't mention anything about the blackmail and money.

Also the fact that Miami is threatening to sue if sanctions are put on them pass their self enforced ones and the NCAA found out they weren't clean through the whole process either only further helps this matter to go underneath the rug.

Yeah, I think this thing is finally over and Haith has nothing to worry about.

He flew to a potential 2014 recruits game last night... doesn't sound like a man that's worried
