Miami players have reaped the benefits of legal name, image and likeness deals since the NCAA began permitting them on July 1, 2021.
But with the deals comes increased scrutiny from the NCAA. The organization has reportedly launched an inquiry into UM and interviewed Hurricanes booster John Ruiz and others, according to a Tuesday report from Sports Illustrated.
A Miami spokesman provided a statement to the South Florida Sun Sentinel: “Like our peer institutions around the country, the University of Miami communicates with NCAA staff to ensure compliance with applicable NCAA regulations. Per NCAA rules, and in order to maintain the integrity of the review, the University cannot comment on specifics of the matter.
