Canes Ban Themselves Again...

If the HQ was Miami head coach Al Golden, we'd jet right now...

Here was the statement the school put out this morning from AD Blake James...
President Donna Shalala and the school's legal counsel were also involved in the decision.

"Considerable deliberation and discussion based on the status of the NCAA inquiry went into the decision-making process and, while acknowledging the impact that the decision will have on current student-athletes, coaches, alumni and fans, a determination was made that voluntarily withholding the football team from a second postseason was not only a prudent step for the University to take but will also allow for the football program and University to move forward in the most expedited manner possible."

The school is hoping that, by doing this, they can allay the fears of the NCAA when it comes to Uncle Nevin and all of his alleged shenanigans...

It's the second straight year that the school is post-season banning themselves...

After the Canes win over South Florida this weekend, Golden was ready to fire...

"Come at me. Bury me all you want. Attack me all you want. 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 all the new self-imposed ban does is create a problem for the A-Cee-Cee...

If the Canes beat Duke, they tie for first in the Coastal with Duke. But Georgia Tech will represent the division against Florida State in the Championship Game.

Wake and Virginia Tech need wins to become bowl eligible this weekend...

Got all that...???
