Mistrial Declared in 2006 University of Miami Teammate Killing; Retrial Planned

A Miami-Dade County judge declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict in the 2006 killing of University of Miami football player Bryan Pata, allegedly by former teammate Rashaun Jones, prompting prosecutors to plan a retrial. Jones was arrested in 2021 and the case, unsolved for 15 years, rests on a witness’s account of seeing him at the scene and cellphone data, while his defense argues the state lacks direct physical evidence.

Miami's Costly Coaching Decision Ends in Heartbreaking Loss to Georgia Tech

University of Miami coach Mario Cristobal's decision not to kneel and secure an easy win against Georgia Tech was a fundamental coaching blunder, resulting in a catastrophic loss. This is not the first time Cristobal has made this mistake, as he did the same thing while coaching at Oregon in 2018. The blunder has tarnished Miami's 5-0 start and raises questions about Cristobal's coaching abilities. The team now faces a tough schedule ahead, and the decision not to kneel may go down as the dumbest decision any coach can make.
