Jonathan Vilma says he's not worried about University of Miami allegations

New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma didn't have much to say about the allegations of University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro, who claimed that Vilma was one of dozens of former Hurricanes to receive illegal benefits from him in a Yahoo! Sports report.

Vilma declined to comment on the specific allegations that he received cash, food, drinks and various forms of entertainment, including cash "bounties" for hits on opposing quarterback.

"I'm not really worried about that right now," Vilma said. "You have a guy that's in jail. Whatever his motive is right now, I don't know. Honestly I don't care. You know, I'm gonna move forward and keep working with the Saints."

The exhaustive Yahoo! Report includes several photos of Vilma with Shapiro, including some on Shapiro's yacht and in his home, in addition to phone records showing frequent communication between the two as recently as 2010.
