Miami has declared a number of its football players ineligible until they are reinstated by the NCAA, a source close to the team confirmed to ESPN.com’s Heather Dinich. The source said Miami declared up to 13 players under investigation by the NCAA ineligible to allow the NCAA to make a ruling by the season opener.
Miami’s internal investigation has determined some players, including quarterback Jacory Harris, are believed to have committed NCAA violations by associating with booster Nevin Shapiro and have been declared ineligible, said a person with knowledge of the process told the Associated Press.
Simply being declared ineligible now does not necessarily mean a player would miss any time this season.
Under NCAA rules, when a school finds violations have occurred, the athlete typically is declared ineligible and the NCAA begins a reinstatement process. The NCAA will also decide if that player needs to miss any games. And the clock is running: Miami opens the season at Maryland on Sept. 5.
