According to an NCAA source, UM has asked the NCAA for permission to appear before the infractions committee during a scheduled infractions committee meeting on Saturday. The NCAA has expressed initial reluctance to allow UM on the calendar on such short notice. But UM is continuing to push the matter.
UM wants to meet with the committee on Saturday to deal with preliminary issues and try to expedite the process.
UM then would have a formal meeting with the eight-member infractions committee in April or June. After a full hearing in front of the infractions committee, UM would expect to receive its punishment within two to four months.
