Scandal
The Hurricanes faced adversity even before the first down of football as twelve players were forced to pay restitution and eight players were suspended for accepting money and gifts from former booster Nevin Shapiro, a convicted Ponzi schemer serving a 20-year prison sentence. The players suspended were Jacory Harris, Sean Spence, Travis Benjamin, Marcus Forston, Adewale Ojomo, Ray-Ray Armstrong, Dyron Dye, and Olivier Vernon.
On November 20, Miami announced it was withdrawing from bowl consideration due to an ongoing NCAA investigation into the Shapiro affair.Regular season
