I was under the impression that, whoever the coach is at Miami, Valentine can not get in academically. And not of the bad grades variety.
Yeah, I'm actually a freshman at the U, and the academics are no joke. It's a top 40 school for a reason.
All that said,

I think this is one of the biggest secrets in CFB. No one ever thinks about Miami as an academic institution, even though that's actually its' greatest strength. The way they're able to qualify many of these guys is due to the private institution status. Derrick Griffin for instance could not get into TAMU, but since Miami can take a diff look (i.e., "character references" etc. ) then they can get guys in that otherwise would not qualify at many public institutions.

They may be top 40 for regular students. But they've had players that couldn't pass the ketchup.
