Miami Declares Jacory Harris, Seven Others Ineligible, According To Report
According to the source, quarterback Jacory Harris is one of the ineligible athletes.
The university was thought to declare 12 athletes ineligible; however, Miami chose not to do so for the other four since the amount of benefits each allegedly received from Nevin Shapiro totaled fewer than $100. Those four are allowed to pay back those amounts, something usually done via charity.
The NCAA will now review each player case and decide whether or not to reinstate them, along with how many games any ineligible players must sit out.
According to coach Al Golden, all 12 of the players involved in the allegations practiced on Thursday.
