Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami booster who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, told Yahoo! Sports he provided impermissible benefits to 72 of the university?s football players and other athletes between 2002 and 2010. Shapiro said he gave money, cars, yacht trips, jewelry, televisions and other gifts to players.
Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez and members of his family are among the creditors listed as those who are owed money by Shapiro. Court records show Alvarez?s family has filed claims for at least $1 million.
