CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The fate of eight Miami players is now in the hands of the NCAA.

Miami coach Al Golden said Friday that the university has asked the NCAA to decide the eligibility of a number of football players — eight, a person with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press — who are believed to have committed violations in dealings with former booster Nevin Shapiro.

“We’ve done our part,” Golden said. “We’re waiting.”

The NCAA’s decision is expected early next week, and it will shape the season for the Hurricanes. Some of Miami’s top players are implicated in the scandal, including quarterback Jacory Harris, linebacker Sean Spence and receiver Travis Benjamin.
