The school released a statement Sunday to both the ACC and the NCAA calling the move a "necessary step."
The statement, in full:
We understand and share the disappointment that our student-athletes, coaches, staff, supporters and fans are feeling but after lengthy discussions among University leaders, athletic administrators and outside counsel, it is a necessary step for our University. The University of Miami has not self-imposed any other penalties.
Miami plays Boston College at home in their final game of the season.
