2015 OL Billy Atterbury: "I think it is a long over-do decision. I'm happy for Miami that all of this year’s hard work won't be for nothing at the end of the year."
2014 CB Nigel Bethel: “It’s a real relief. Now I know we can be in a bowl game and it makes me feel more comfortable coming to Miami.”
2015 QB/WR Deon Cain: "My reactions are neutral. I don't really care about the sanctions because I love the U."
2014 OL Trevor Darling: “I was happy about it because everybody wants to play in bowl games, so the fact that they didn’t ban us from any bowl games, that’s a good thing. I wasn’t really worried about the sanctions because I was going to go to UM anyway. That’s just where I want to be. The sanctions weren’t going to stop me from going.”
2015 QB Torrance Gibson: "I really have no comment on that situation you know? It was the NCAA's call & they made it."
2014 DE Trent Harris: “Well, I think it's great that they weren't banned from any bowl games and I know that the current players on the team just got an extra boost of excitement! I just can't wait to go out there and win a national championship!”
2015 OG Tristen Hoge: “It is good that they avoided the bowl ban but it’s still too bad they lose nine scholarships. I haven’t heard too many of the details surrounding the case so I don’t know how accurate my opinion is.”
2015 LB De’Amontae Jackson: "I think coach Golden is not worried. He will continue to build the program. And he will keep winning and that will help out with a few lost scholarships and make more people want to go to Miami.”
2014 DE Demetrius Jackson: “Well it’s about time. It’s a great step forward for the program and the players. I believe it gives the players a sense of urgency, they know they can go win a national championship this year.”
2014 LB Vincent Jackson: "Wow, well that basically means nothing."
2014 RB Sony Michel: "Not bad, their program will go to the top."
2015 QB Lorenzo Nunez: “Miami should be able to absorb this ban pretty well.”
2014 LB Darrion Owens: "I'm excited to hear about the great news and can't wait for the U to get back into the national championship again."
2015 DE Scott Patchan: "The sanctions don't mean much. It's not going to affect me either way how I feel about Miami."
2015 OT Christian Pellage: "I feel the punishment is reasonable and hopefully they learned from their mistakes. None of this will affect my interest. I base it off of the education program and the football program."
2014 RB Brandon Powell: “I’m glad to see they finally got it all situated, but it’s sad that they lose those three scholarships for three years. That’s three players that we need. But those scholarships they do get, we just have to come in and work. Everybody’s gotta come in and work. It’s a relief because now some of the recruits that were waiting on that, they can go ahead and pull the trigger. Maybe we can get some big guys.”
2014 DE Chad Thomas: “I am just happy that we will be able to compete like the other colleges going to bowl games. The three scholarships won't hurt if everyone does their job and handles their business in the program.”
2016 RB Mark Walton: “It’s a pretty good announcement for us. We can go out there and compete for a national championship and a bowl game. We’re just losing scholarships, it’s hurting the team, but we can still compete for a national championship.”
2016 DE Jordan Woods: “They still are a great university.”
2014 RB Joseph Yearby: “It’s very, very good, because I thought we weren’t going to be able to go to bowl games or do anything other colleges could do. My commitment to Miami is very strong. I’m not really going there for games or anything, I’m going there for the education, try to do my four years and get my degree.”
