In 2025, the Power Four Conferences (Big 12, ACC, SEC, Big Ten) created the College Sports Commission (CSC) as part of the House v. NCAA settlement to monitor third-party NIL contracts and oversee the NCAA's revenue-sharing model. At the time, an NIL spending cap (approximately $20M per school)was implemented. However, two of the four conferences (SEC and Big Ten) have largely ignored the cap and now spend as much as $40m a year. What happened to those rules? Iowa State athle

Miami defeated Boston College, 8-2, in the third round of the ACC Baseball Tournament on Thursday. The Canes now advance to the semi-final round to take on No. 3 Georgia Tech (46-9). Miami (38-17) brought their bats on Thursday. The Canes collected 15 base hits, including two-run homers from Alex Sosa and Fabio Peralta. Gabriel Milano, Vance Sheahan and Dylan Dubovik also each drove in a run. The offensive outburst even saw Jake Ogden slide head-first safely into home on a

For the second time in a week, Miami welcomed two verbal commitments to the 2027 recruiting class. It started with the commitment of four-star interior offensive lineman Jatori Williams (Phenix City, AL - Central Phenix City), followed later in the evening by four star linebacker Aroson Randle Jr. (Garner, N.C. - Garner). The day started when offensive line coach Alex Mirabal welcomed IOL Jatori Williams to the class. At 6’-5”/320, Jatori is rated 95, ranked the #7 IOL and t

Miami has a major need at linebacker this recruiting cycle. Seniors Mo Toure and Chase Smith will lead the linebackers this season but will exhaust their eligibility after the 2026 season. Miami wants to sign at least two backers to the 2027 recruiting class. Defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman has been very active on the recruiting trail this cycle. Miami has made 19 scholarship offers to school seniors so far in the cycle. Decision this Thursday… Aroson Randle, Jr will an

The ACC announced their 2026 All-ACC baseball teams on Monday. Four Miami players earned second team honors, including catcher Alex Sosa, third baseman Daniel Cuvet, right fielder Derek Williams and pitcher Rob Evans. In addition, catcher Alonzo Alvarez was named to the All-Freshman Team. Miami (36-17, 16-14 ACC) finished fifth in the ACC and has a bye into the second round in the ACC Tournament in Charlotte, N.C. on Wednesday. First pitch is set for 1:00 p.m. ET with coverag

Mario Cristobal and his defensive staff welcomed not one but two verbal commitments on Sunday. The day started when Miami cornerback Terry Jefferson welcomed the flip of four-star cornerback Ai'King Hall (Dothan AL - Dothan) from Oregon. He was the 12th verbal commitment to Miami’s 2017 class. At 5’-11”/190, Ai’King is rated 96, ranked the #9 CB and the #73 overall prospect in the 2027 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite. In May, 247Sports director Andrew Iv

Miami salvaged the series and season final on Saturday, beating #11 Florida State, 7-4, in Tallahassee. The game started off with a pitchers dual between FSU’s Bryson Moore (6-2) and Miami’s AJ Ciscar (5-3.) Ciscar threw seven innings, giving up one run on six hits while striking out four and walking one. Moore went 7 2/3 innings, giving up two runs. Miami trailed 1-0 in the seventh inning when the Canes bats finally came alive. Gabriel Milano hit the go-ahead two-run home ru

This week was not a good week for Miami recruiting. The Canes lost major recruiting battles in the trenches on both sides of the line of scrimmage. There’s no way to sugar coat it. The loss of OT Mark Matthews, DT David Folorunsho and DL Xavier Muhammad really hurt. Perhaps Mario Cristobal and his staff can shift to a long game strategy for the blue chip prospects but it will be a steep uphill climb. Can Miami pivot to other options? Let's examine the options at this point

Miami (35-17, 15-14 ACC) dropped the second game of the finale season series to #11 Florida State, 11-1, on Friday. The Seminole win clinched the weekend series. The game was stopped after eight innings under the 10-run “mercy rule” in college baseball. The Noles had their way with Miami pitching while Miami’s bats were again silent and the defense committed three errors. First pitch for the last game in the regular season is set for 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, with coverage on

Going into this past week, the ACC had Miami scheduled to play FOUR games on Friday in 2026. Thanks ACC! Miami was absolutely livid. Such scheduling stacked the odds against the Canes making another run to the college playoffs. With those Friday games, Miami was facing shorter weeks to prepare for the next opponent, not to mention the impact on team health and home attendance. Just another example of the ACC shooting itself in the foot. If Miami was inclined to leave the ACC

Miami lost the first game of a three-game series, 7-6, to #11 Florida State in Tallahassee on Thursday. Despite a quality start from Miami lefty Rob Evans, the Canes could hold a 6-1 lead down the stretch. Evans fired seven innings, giving up just one run on six hits while striking out seven and walking two. Miami’s bullpen imploded over the last four innings. Six relievers combined to throw 3 2/3 innings and allowed seven hits, six runs, three walks and one hit batter. Sad

It was just three years ago when the CFB Playoff was expanded to twelve (12) teams from four (4) teams. Over the past year, talk began about expanding the playoff to sixteen (16) teams, then talk started about going directly to twenty-four (24) teams! Really? What rationale is being used to destroy the regular season and conference championships? Sure, there might be more money for a select few schools. Sure, the coaches would have more job security. But what about the stude
