The NCAA Needs to Speed Up the Process With the Miami Hurricanes

Two years of investigating and two self-imposed bowl bans later, we still don’t know what the NCAA has in store for the Miami Hurricanes. This is getting a little ridiculous, and after this ordeal is finally over, the NCAA should look into a way to speed up this process.

It is expected that the governing body of collegiate sports will hand Miami its notice of allegations in the next week. However, once that notice has been presented, there will be a 90-day period for those involved to give a written response to the NCAA. After that period, a hearing will be scheduled in 4-6 months.

This whole thing started with Nevin Shapiro, who ran Ponzi scheme. Shapiro allegedly provided dozens of Hurricanes players with money and other benefits that are illegal according to the NCAA. Two years later, and there are still no answers. When the NCAA does finally give Miami its list of allegations, people will at last be able to really speculate about what’s about to hit Miami.

The Hurricanes have tried to sway the NCAA’s favor with two self-imposed bowl bans. The ban in 2012 kept the Hurricanes from making the ACC Championship game for the first time in program history. As of now, we really don’t know what the NCAA has in store for Miami.

Perhaps the bowl bans did some good, or maybe they didn’t. It really all depends on what the school and the football program is accused of.  The only thing that is for sure right now is that this saga is far from over.
