"The U" refers to the University of Miami Hurricanes or "The 'Canes" football team. The scandals were: Brian Pata was found dead as a result of a homicide in November 2006. In 2021, a fellow teammate Rashaun Jones was arrested for said murder.Various teammates were arrested for guns, drugs, and other violations.In 2015, Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami businessman and Booster who is currently doing a 20-year stint in federal prison for fraud, has alleged that he showered dozens of Miami players with improper gifts, from prostitutes to jewelry, over a period of eight years. Other benefits included: cash, jewelry, prostitutes, parties in his mansions and on his yacht, elaborate meals and nights out at expensive nightclubs and strip bars, bonuses for athlete's play on the field, special bonuses for injuring players on another team, and, in one instance, an abortion for a stripper a player had impregnated.Due to the number of players and other participants involved and the repeated and frequent nature of said offenses, there was talk of the regulating body, The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletics Association), imposing the "Death Penalty", which would shut down Miami's football program entirely for at least one year, something it has only done once before, with Southern Methodist University in 1987.
In college football, a starter is a player on the official list of players who will participate in a game at the beginning of the event. Players who are not in the starting lineup are called substitutes or bench players. College football coaches may choose not to list a starter, even if they know one player is better than another, so that their opponent will keep guessing until the game is almost over.
College homecoming is an annual celebration that takes place at a college or university to welcome back former students and alumni. It's usually celebrated in late September or early October and typically includes a variety of events and activities. The term "homecoming" implies a return or reunion, and the tradition often serves as an opportunity for alumni to come back to their alma mater. Generally, college homecoming events are centered around the athletic programs, particularly football, and are more focused on alumni returning to campus, reconnecting with old friends, and participating in various activities organized by the institution. In this installment, the booster club, stated that they raise more money in those three days, than anytime of the year.
Aaron was asked by his English teacher to interpret a quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "No man, for any considerable period can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude without getting bewildered as to which may be true". It seems like he struggles with the question of "Identity" (who he is ?), and the open embracement of his true identity, seems to a running theme in his life.
A booster club is defined as "an organization that is formed to help support the efforts of a sports team or organization. Support is shown in many ways, including volunteering time,fund-raising, and contributing their own personal money to better enhance the team or organization's performance."
