The National Collegiate Athletic Association ordered eight University of Miami football players to miss games and pay for benefits received from booster Nevin Shapiro and athletics personnel.
“The student-athletes involved have acknowledged receiving improper benefits and will now be responsible for restitution and, in some cases, the student-athletes will also serve game suspensions,” Miami Athletics Director Shawn Eichorst said in a statement last night. “They understand that their actions demand consequences.”
