Two Miami players dismissed from team

The University of Miami has dismissed defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad and linebacker Jermaine Grace from the Hurricanes football program. The University released a statement Saturday morning:

“The University of Miami announced today that red-shirt junior Al-Quadin Muhammad and senior Jermaine Grace have been permanently dismissed from the Hurricanes football program for violating NCAA rules.  The University will, however, continue their financial aid through graduation.

The decision was made in consultation with outside counsel and after discussions with the NCAA enforcement staff.  As no staff members or boosters were involved in the violations, the program will not be subject to sanctions and, at this time, the University deems this matter closed.”
