He and AQM are staying in school this semester?
I thought I read that the school was going to honor their financial aid agreement - that implies that they'll still be attending UM I'd imagine...
good luck to the young man! We could use him and he is really fighting to be on the team. We need that type around. I don't know the case, he does. Fight young man, fight!
I wonder if he figured out that his last lawyer wasn't licensed in Florida and that he admitted Grace lied and, therefore, earned at least a 1 year loss of eligibility.
He didnt lie to the NCAA.
Lied to compliance....it's over. He needs to get ready for the draft
they prob hired outside counsel who billed the s%&t ut of the university and then prob told them they had to dismiss them from the program to justify the money he took from UM
I can't blame the kid for trying, good luck to him. Would love to have him back but it's probably a long shot. But I gotta give him credit for not just giving up, I like a guy who will fight for it.

He took impermissible benefits while the program was on probation. He put his own fun ahead of the good of the program. This wasn't about taking a hundred bucks so his mom could pay FPL. This was about driving around in fancy cars. The whole thing is selfish. Make no mistake about motive, he's fighting to save a very tenuous future nfl paycheck.

The rule is an auto 6 game suspension unless mitigating circumstances...
c. Bylaw 10.1-(a) (Refusal to furnish information relevant to investigation ofpossible NCAA violation), Bylaw 10.1-(c) (Provision of offering or providingprospective or enrolled student-athlete improper benefit or aid), Bylaw 10.1-(d) (Provision of false or misleading information), Bylaw 10.1-(f) (Provision ofproviding banned substance to student-athlete), Bylaw 10.1-(g) (Provision ofincomplete and inaccurate information to the NCAA, NCAA Eligibility Centeror member institution regarding academic record) or Bylaw 10.1-(j)(Provision of incomplete and inaccurate information to the NCAA, NCAAEligibility Center or member institution regarding amateur status).
(1) The committee directed the reinstatement staff to begin its withholdinganalysis at sit-a-season, charge-a-season. (May 2008, updated December2012)
The old rule (pre-2013) was 50% of the season. The current default is sit-a-season, charge-a-season.
I love these threads when everyone becomes a lawyer. If he wants to appeal, go for it. Maybe some new evidence comes to light that clears him. I'm not holding my breath though and I'm going to assume that Jermaine Grace has played his last game at the University of Miami.
Please provide a link to this 'available evidence' UM withheld to the detriment of Grace's case and baiting of false statements. Thanks in advancethey prob hired outside counsel who billed the s%&t ut of the university and then prob told them they had to dismiss them from the program to justify the money he took from UM
Yup.
Kicking a senior off the team one week before the season is the worst possible outcome for the player and school. Whomever made the decision seems to be treating the alleged cover up worse than the crime.
The available information suggests Miami compliance had information and withheld the same for Grace. They baited him into making "false" statements. I do not believe that is how this process is supposed to work.

To my shock and dismay, every other swinging dik here ARE lawyers.
And half of what is left are doctors.
I know, I know . . .
[MENTION=1307]LMCane[/MENTION] is the only trusted counsel.
I think the lying part is subjective... and I dont think its always resulted in an automatic 1 yr suspension. Lie to the NCAA, yes, but to your schools compliance then they may have more leeway on its interpretation of what constitutes a lie concerning your amateur status.
Lets say the issue here is about "test drives". Could be our compliance calls BS on those because lets be honest they are BS. Grace gets the NCAA to look at his situation and they come back and say the test drives were permissible because he is a existing customer. Does his lawyer have an argument that he did not lie about anything impacting his amateur status?
As far as AQM goes, there is a rumored memorabilia trail here and AQM posted picks on social media. He could have more damaging evidence against him that we do not know of. Really curious why he doesn't appear to have publicized his fight or representation, but it does appear that he hasn't.
