The story that followed a recent Miami Hurricanes game wasn't one anyone in South Florida asked for.
A Florida Bar employee was fired after allegedly sending racist and homophobic direct messages to a Miami player. The incident, first reported by Yahoo Sports, turned a moment in the season into a broader conversation about the toxicity that follows college athletes into their inboxes. The player's name and the specific messages weren't detailed in the initial reporting, but the employment consequence was swift: the employee is no longer with the Bar.
It's a reminder that in the 2026 season, the minutes after the game can be as consequential as the 60 before it. Players are public figures whether they want to be or not, and the DMs that follow a game carry a weight that can overshadow the athletic performance.
On the broader season front, NCAA.com is tracking the remaining undefeated FBS programs as the calendar pushes past the midpoint. With the season progressing, the list of perfect records is getting shorter, and every remaining spot on that leaderboard carries more weight than it did in September. The full picture of who's still standing won't be clear until the rest of the slate clears.
Looking ahead, Thursday's card is light but not empty. Appalachian State hosts James Madison, Kennesaw State hosts Liberty, and East Carolina hosts Memphis in a conference matchup that could have real implications down the stretch. Friday brings Virginia to Duke, a Blue Blood clash that will draw eyes away from the Group of Five action.
For now, though, the story in Miami isn't the box score. It's what happened after the game.
