MIAMI -- A lawyer who assisted the NCAA in its investigation of University of Miami athletics is facing a 91-day suspension from practicing law, according to new court documents.The documents show thats what the Florida Bar recommended to the Florida Supreme Court in the case of attorney Maria Elena Perez. A Bar referee found she violated numerous legal ethics by sharing information with the NCAA she got from witnesses she interviewed while representing former Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro in a bankruptcy case.Shapiro is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for operating a $930 million Ponzi scheme. It was Shapiros improper actions with recruits, athletes and staffers that prompted the NCAA to strip Miami of nine football scholarships and put its athletics department on three years probation that ends Oct. 21.The NCAA has acknowledged it was wrong to align with Perez and pay her more than $18,000 to get information from the witnesses she was interviewing on Shapiros behalf. The bankruptcy case was aimed at finding money to return to wronged investors in Shapiros fraud scam, and Shapiro sought to cooperate in hopes of getting a lighter prison sentence in his criminal case.The Bar investigation of Perez found that ultimately $35 million was returned to investors through the bankruptcy case.The Florida Bar filing concluded that Perez, 44, is guilty of violating eight ethical rules including lack of candor, failure to disclose key facts and making false statements. In addition to the suspension from practicing law, the Bar filing recommends that Perez pay more than $4,000 in costs of the investigation.Among other things, the Bars initial complaint said that Perez failed to inform witnesses in depositions about her relationship with the NCAA and that she even contacted producers at HBO about taping depositions of former Miami equipment-room staffer Sean Allen and sports agent Michael Huyghue.In a letter responding to the Bar complaint, Perez contended that her agreement was that the NCAA would be a third-party payor and that she never worked directly for the NCAA as one of its attorneys or legal representatives.The NCAA was going to pay the undersigned counsel for work related to representing Mr. Shapiro in matters overlapping the enforcement staffs investigation of Miami, Perez wrote in the letter.She declined to comment on the filing in an email Monday other than to note that some of the original allegations were dropped.The Supreme Court could accept or reject the Bars disciplinary recommendation, and could increase or reduce the proposed penalty.-----Follow Curt Anderson on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Miamicurt Josh Towers Jersey .

Pat Borders Blue Jays Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts made a choice.Rather than take their bye week immediately after playing in London, like every other team has done, they delayed it.Turns out, it was a perfectly timed win-win. First, the Colts beat the Chicago Bears seven days after returning from their European excursion and now they head into their weekend off following a crucial win at Green Bay. They couldnt have plotted it any better.We need to build on that (win) now, Andrew Luck said. I think this week comes at a perfect time to self-evaluate and to see football-wise, tactically, and technique-wise maybe why it hasnt been as good as you want it to be.Certainly, this has not been the season the Colts envisioned. At 4-5, they still havent won back-to-back games. They trail defending AFC South champion Houston by 1+ games.They relied on a makeshift secondary to get through September, and a makeshift offensive line to survive October, perhaps paying a price for their patience. While Luck has been sacked a league-high 33 times and is on pace to go down almost 60 times this season, the short-handed defense is ranked No. 29 overall.Its been even tougher than it looks.Indys first three wins all came courtesy of fourth-quarter comebacks, and Sundays by staving off the Packers late rally.Luck spent the first half of the season getting acclimated to a new offensive line and a new offensive coordinator while the defense tried to learn the new system installed by first-time defensive coordinator Ted Monachino.Coach Chuck Pagano heard critics complain about slow starts, poor decisions, a torrent of penalties and a continual barrage of mistakes. Some even questioned whether Pagano should be fired during the bye week.Yet his message never wavered. He implored players to buckle down, clean things up and stick to the plan. He even sent them home with a friendly reminder to come back ready to work.For us to not build on this, for us not to do the right thing and not stay in our iPads and go work out and do the things necessary over the next four or five days that need to be done and not take advantage of this (win), then shame on us, Pagano said.dddddddddddd Thats on all of us.Whether that offseason decision to push back the bye was shrewd planning or just dumb luck, things have worked out.As Luck and his teammates spoke to reporters, there was a noticeable change. They looked relaxed, happy and eager to start what they hope will be a more enjoyable final seven weeks.That was probably the most fun I had in my whole career, that game right there, Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton said, referring to Sundays victory. Just to be able to play at full strength and have that many weapons, it makes my job easier, it makes their job easier, and especially Andrews (job).The one looming question is timing. Pagano acknowledged that even in the locker room, there were players who wanted to build off the momentum from Sunday and keep playing.Savvy veterans such as 35-year-old outside linebacker Robert Mathis want to see the Colts do that, too, after some badly needed rest.We need the break. Ill leave it at that, Mathis said with a laugh.The schedule wont be forgiving, either. They play two home games in five days in Thanksgiving week before hitting the road for three of the next four games.If they intend to chase down Houston and capture their third division title in four years and return to the playoffs, the Colts cant afford to take another break. They need to come back rested, ready and healthy enough to turn their late bye week into an advantage that will help them during the closing flurry.Yes, 100 percent, Luck said about stringing together some wins. And the goal is for us to look back and this (victory) to not be the biggest win of the year. This wont be the highlight of the year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
