CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP)-- Miami officials said Monday that the school is making what it called an "unprecedented decision" to self-impose a postseason ban for the second straight year, ending any chance of the Hurricanes playing in either the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game or a bowl. Similar to last year, Miami's choice was made with regard to the status of the ongoing NCAA examination into the school's conformity practices. The inquiry began in 2011 after a former enhancer went public with accusations that he offered dozens of sportsmens and recruits with additional perks such as cash and gifts.

"These kids who have stuck it out, who have stayed here, who have never gotten one week in two years without hearing about all this nonsense, don't blame them. And I appreciate all those kids that not only stayed here, but those guys that answered the bell, that answered the call to come here and fix this. And we will get it fixed."

And if you just look at it all the way down the line, if you're a freshman and you're playing for that your freshman year, now you become accustomed. You changed the culture. They start to understand what it means."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
