Miami quarterback Robert Marve was told Friday that he has been suspended for the season opener against Charleston Southern, his former high school coach and others confirmed Saturday. The suspension stems from an incident last year in Coconut Grove, multiple sources said. Freshman Jacory Harris is expected to start UM's opener Thursday at Dolphin Stadium. However, associates said Marve indicated that coaches reaffirmed their faith in him during Friday's meeting. Marve was told, according to multiple sources, that he has won the job as starting quarterback. He is expected to start Sept. 6 against Florida in Gainesville. Marve initially was charged with two misdemeanors -- resisting arrest without violence and minor criminal mischief -- after officials say he broke the mirror of a car and briefly tried to evade police on foot Halloween night in Coconut Grove. Marve became upset after having an argument with his girlfriend and was not aware a police officer was nearby. He was not taken to jail. Later, according to Miami-Dade County criminal records, prosecutors decided not to pursue the case, and it was closed March 10, 2008.

Well, on the bright side, if that's all he did then the 'Canes are doing better with that "criminal" image.

Miami football is now irrelevant. They had a great run in the 90s, but it's all over for now.

"Now Robert, we are going to sit you against the Charleston Southern Sisters of the Blind. I hope this is a lesson that serves you well"....Coach
Charleston Southern!!! You got to be kidding me. When did Miami U. stop playing Division I football???? That is pathetic.

And so it goes at Miami ,,,, Why do the Hurricanes always seem to have bad eggs on the their teams?

August 24, 2008  10:33 AM ET

OMG! Is this game sanctioned by the NCAA? Charleston Southern was 1-3 in their division last year and 5-6 overall. I have seen Division III teams with a tougher schedule. The QB should be more upset if her were sat for a scrimmage against the third string.

jeez, at least he's starting against UF, but it would've been nice for him to practice a little before going to Gainesville.

August 24, 2008  11:04 AM ET

If this wasn't Charleston Southern he would be starting.

Isn't suspending him for the Charleston Southern game like putting him on Double Secret Probation?

August 24, 2008  03:23 PM ET

For Miami to be so irrelevant, we still have a bunch of haters talking about us. "Thug U", that's old and played out, find something new to say. And Charleston being our first game. Name a school who doesn't play a team of such low caliber in the nation. Everybody has at least one game against a lower level opponent. Reason being, MONEY. Smaller schools have the potential of making more money from the game when they play bigger school. Idiots!!! All the major colleges and universities does it. Just let Miami be Miami. Quit hating on the U.....WAIT!!!, I take that back. Keep hating. As a matter of fact, start of new club and recruit 5 to 6 more of your kind. The more haters the better. It's makes winning that much sweeter.

I cant wait for football to start back up in the Swamp. Week 2, the gators are going to own the Canes.
GO GATORS!

August 24, 2008  04:28 PM ET

Dude I hate to say it (even as a nole) but the canes are losing it slowly...when they lost coker its been all uphill. But I do agree that UF will run allllll over miami.

August 24, 2008  06:10 PM ET

Charleston Southern? If they were serious about punishment at Miami they would at least take away his deserts.

August 24, 2008  07:28 PM ET

It's hard to have enough hate left over for UM when UF is your big annual rival in the state of Florida. But somehow, we manage.

August 24, 2008  08:20 PM ET

And who are YOU a fan of, 50yr??? I GUARANTEE they have at least one cupcake on their schedule. EVERY team does, without question... you know that, you just like runnin yer yap.

And Marve is not a bad egg. In comparison to most of the transgressions across the nation and centralized in schools like UF (see Meyer letting a kid who pulled an AK on someone and shot it in the air after running his "we only recruit the top 1 percent of the top 1 percent"-rhetoric around Gainesville for several years) this is a very minor situation... hence the small punishment. Which actually is a pretty big deal for him and the team as now we go into the Swamp starting a kid who's never taken a snap.

Get over it, haters.

August 24, 2008  08:23 PM ET

When they lost Coker is when it all went uphill?!?!?!? BAHAHAHA! That is the most ignorant comment about The U I have ever read. You clearly know NOTHING about Miami, CrimsonNole, may you never speak about the Canes again. My god.

August 24, 2008  09:49 PM ET

For_The_U ...Lol.. Lighten up Francis.. for the record, my favorite team IS the cupcake on the schedule...Go Syracuse...But Charleston Southern?? that has got to be some kind of record...Come on, admit it, you could not make that stuff up.. That, my friend, is reaching about as far down as you can...and then going further.. You have got to learn to deal with it better. Like the writer says. There is not a first round pic on Miami U. anymore, and because of all the "stuff" in their past, it is rather amusing that a once great football program has declined to the point that they will schedule a game against a team of the level ( certainly not Div. I) of Charleston Southern....Go look at their schedule in the past, you will not see such " cupcakes" as that....Admit it, it is a bit embarrassing to put them on the schedule...And everyone knows it.....And so do you. They are not a cupcake, they are a sacrificial lamb..

August 24, 2008  09:57 PM ET

For_The_U ..Actually, I could see your favorite school move up to fourth in the conference this. Maybe even improve that 2-6 to 4-4. Its possible..

 
August 24, 2008  10:23 PM ET

Yeah, Charleston Southern really does stink.

Sooo.... His first start will be against Florida???? Great!

For_The_U: I think CrimsonNole41 meant it's been an uphill struggle ever since Larry Coker... I dunno... was hired... no, the won the NC... was fired... no... there were problems before that... I dunno.... Yep, he's dumb.
