Hurricanes’ pffseason football practice leads to possible NCAA violation

by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – As vigilant as it tries to be in its post-Nevin Shapiro world, the University of Miami knows it isn’t done dealing with the NCAA.

A possible secondary violation was witnessed Friday night by local reporters and the school’s athletic director, Blake James.

Beyond the center-field fence of a Miami-Florida baseball game at Mark Light Field attended by 3,481, a large portion of the Hurricanes’ football team was seen running through drills at the lighted Greentree Practice Fields. Offensive and defensive players were seen performing 7-on-7 drills, while linemen worked with tackling dummies.

Though spring practice does not officially begin until March 1, teams may engage in such activities as long as they are involuntary and coaches are not present. Coaches may also supervise conditioning activities, such as UM’s February “U-Tough” workouts.

In this case, at least one UM assistant coach – offensive line coach Art Kehoe — was spotted by the Post at the football practice, which could be a secondary violation. James told the Post he was aware of such a situation and contacted his compliance staff to investigate.

“We want to be monitoring all situations,” James said. “I think in this case, there were a number of individuals that could see what was happening. We’ll address the situation and report any possible violations.”

The NCAA defines secondary violations as “isolated or inadvertent in nature; provide or are intended to provide only minimal recruiting, competitive or other advantage; and do not include any significant impermissible benefit.” Penalties for secondary violations are often rules education and letters of admonishment.

It is unclear what role UM’s probationary status may have in any violation. In October, UM was docked nine football scholarships and three basketball scholarships, and were put on a probationary period of three years after the NCAA handed down its Nevin Shapiro ruling.

James said UM has already had a number of secondary violations this year, “and I know we’re going to have more that will happen this year.” He declined to disclose how many. As a private school, UM is not required to make such information public.

“A lot of times, the individuals that commit the violations report it themselves, and sometimes we’ll recognize something and we’ll address it,” James said. “In this situation, we’ll get all the facts, and if it ends up being a violation, we’ll report it.

“You’re going to have a number of secondary violations every year. If you don’t you’re not monitoring your program. We’re human and we make mistakes. There are a lot of rules within the manual. I think if you’re not having violations, you’re probably not doing a very good job of monitoring. Obviously, you want to have as small a number of violations as possible, but they are going to happen and they do happen.”

“In a perfect world, you wouldn’t have any, but that’s not reality. Reality is, you’re going to have a number of secondary violations. Honestly, I’d be more concerned about schools that don’t report any, because that means that you’re not monitoring.”

So basically, Matt Porter caused all this by doing some snooping.

What a ****.
 
*OSU self-reported 46 in one year recently. One was for Meyer saying "good luck" to a recruit as he walked by him during a game.

You have to be kidding me. Kehoe was just taking a shortcut to Chartwells to have his evening soft serve sundae.

" The possible violation involves at least one assistant football coach watching a voluntary workout in the distance just beyond the UM-Florida baseball game at Mark Light Field. The football workout was witnessed by the media covering the baseball game. The coach was seen by the Palm Beach Post.

Palm Beach Post reporter Matt Porter reported that he saw offensive line coach Art Kehoe at the workout. "

Finally our compliance office has a ******* clue!!!!

Self report EVERY little violation you can find.

That way all the big duffel bags go unnoticed.

LOL every single team has coaches at voluntary workouts, but of course the ****** Gator reports ours. It's really incredible the complex Gators have with the U. Such a pathetic group of people.
 
No big deal but this kind of nonsense really happens with no other team. Pathetic that we constantly have to worry about a certain (and sizable) portion of the local media. If Golden cut all access and just fed Barry Jackson weekly tidbits it'd serve us all better.

Since when did being a beat writer involve investigative journalism/"narc-ing"? The same people that'll defend Porter here are probably the same that wish every local kid the best of luck as they commit somewhere else and still claim that Corch Candy and Fat Luigi Cristobal bleed orange and green.

Oh, ***** Jorge Milian too.
