Major Miami Hurricanes benefactor Alex Rodriguez was quoted on the Twitter account for the baseball team supporting the promotion of pitching coach J.D. Arteaga to head coach. The NCAA has issued a change in its policy to lighten restrictions for athletes seeking to get out of their national letters of intent.
Rodriguez who donated $3.9 million to the Miami Hurricanes baseball program in 2009 and whose stadium bears his name stated his connection with Arteaga dates to little league. Rodriguez praised the work ethic of Arteaga, his character and strong leadership. Arteaga is expected by Rodriguez to have Miami competing for titles.
