OT - 8 Miami Players Declared Ineligible
They have been declared ineligible by the university and their cases have been sent to the NCAA for potential reinstatement. The NCAA will determine penalties, etc.
Jacory Harris is one of the 8.

August 25th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
or do you mean Mississipolis
August 25th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
Miami.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:06 PM ^
How lucky for Ohio to play a wounded Miami team. MFers.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:08 PM ^
Ohio is looking pretty wounded as well, my friend.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
August 26th, 2011 at 7:45 AM ^
But not that bad.
I wonder what the line change is on that game, I would ass-u-me Miami was favored before this. It's had to of swung to at least OSU -7.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
One team will.
Just sayin'.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
I think that was his point.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
yeah but they both lose!
August 25th, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
I live in ohio, and would love to wear this around all those other fans.
August 25th, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
probably should iron it first.
August 25th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
thts beautiful...well done
August 25th, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
That is truly 100% Pure Colombian Awesome
August 25th, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
the "tats" needs an * with cars, cash, golf, & rent
August 26th, 2011 at 3:08 AM ^
Tats vs Tutes...very nice! Well played Chet, well played!
August 25th, 2011 at 8:07 PM ^
That OSU-Miami game in September sure looks a little different from the way it looked a year ago.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
Why does everyone seem to want to cooperate and do the right thing once the NCAA shows up? OSU basically told them to go fuck themselves and they seem to be doing just fine.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
Harris wont hurt Miami (YTM) too much, as Morris is a better QB anyways. The real loses will be if Sean Spence, Ray Ray Armstrong, Byrd, and some of the other starters are also suspended. I just hope they have enough man-power to beat OSU.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:36 PM ^
The OSU games against non-conference powers like USC, Texas and Miami are win-win for Michigan fans.
Either:
1. OSU loses and its fans are unhappy, pleasing Michigan fans. Or...
2. OSU wins and that helps the Big Ten's national perception and sets up Michigan to get more credit for defeating a higher-ranked team.
The glass is half-full.
This year I think OSU will beat Miami, with or without Miami's suspended players.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
I like the way you think. That dry desert air out there is paying off for you.
August 26th, 2011 at 1:55 AM ^
Does Michigan get credit when they lose to a higher ranked team?
August 25th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
It would have made more sense for Miami to declare all 12 of them ineligible and just allow the NCAA to reinstate the four others quickly. It basically absolves the school of penalties that could result from playing ineligible players.
Miami is going to do the exact opposite of what OSU did. They're going to screw this away in the NCAA's eyes and make things even worse for them.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:53 PM ^
ESPN says that 13 players are now being suspended.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
but gains a good head coach. OSU loses their star-douche QB and loses their leader. pretty even actually you guys are underestimating the loss of Tressel.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
Miami-OSU game will be interesting.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
August 25th, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
Spence is the best player on the Miami roster, so that's a bad start right there.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
Assuming of course Morris is OKed to play, I'd say Miami has a slight upperhand at QB.
Stephen Morris was great as a true frosh last year, but he did throw for 1,240 yards, 53% accuracy, 7 TDs, 9 INTs and 1 rushing TD.
But God, who knows what else....
I agree about understimating the loss of Tressel.
But also can't underestimate Al Golden. Turning around a Temple football program was no easy task with far less talent than Miami has in 3rd and 4th string.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
Oh sorry, I read that wrong.
August 25th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
The NCAA should make them all eligible for the Ohio game and then sit them out for the next five.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
against Maryland?
August 25th, 2011 at 8:58 PM ^
that Gene Smith is not the athletic director at the U ....
Go Blue!
August 25th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
Is Tate Forcier among them . . . . oh . . . . wait
August 25th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
Jacory Harris is no stranger to multiple interception games.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:30 PM ^
I was worried it might be Miami (OH). Lord knows they get yacht cruises and VIP bottleservice in Ohio as well. lol
August 25th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
this is pretty meaningless, technically auburn suspended cam newton last year too and this looks like the same situation. My money would be on the ncaa reinstating these guys while the investigation is ongoing like they did with Cam. This is just the schools way of lessening the penalties if it turns out they were ineligeble.
August 26th, 2011 at 1:05 AM ^
And just think, all they had to do was pay out some bail money to this loser and he probably wouldn't have squealed. I'll bet that Miami isn't even 95th percentile when it comes to booster shenanigans.
