The University of Miami endured a disappointing regular season, but the Hurricanes’ lackluster record is not the only thing that seems to have fans in a funk.
While some are questioning coaches about controversial game plays, others are wondering why coaches tinkered this year with the U’s flashiest icon – the immensely popular Turnover Chain.
Created by local jeweler Anthony John Machado, “The King of Bling,” the 2017 Turnover Chain sported an orange and green sapphire-encrusted “U” medallion attached to a 10-karat gold link chain weighing 4.4 pounds.
Football players flaunted the chain on covers of magazines, newspapers and websites.
