Miami suspends fifth player
Miami punt snapper Chris Ivory will not play in Saturday’s Emerald Bowl because he violated an unspecified team rule. He is the fifth Hurricanes player suspended for the final game of the season.
Ivory did not accompany the Hurricanes to San Francisco, where Miami (7-5) plays California (8-4) on Saturday.
He also was suspended for the season opener against Charleston Southern for another rules violation but won Miami’s Albert Bentley Award as the team’s most valuable walk-on player.
Jake Byrne, who handles snaps on field-goal attempts, will take over on punts.

Oklahoma State Coach Mike Gundy will receive a $400,000 bonus for getting the Cowboys to their third consecutive bowl appearance.
A clause in his contract indicates he is to receive the bonus if the Cowboys make three bowl appearances in any five-year period. Oklahoma State, which played in the Independence and Insight bowls the last two seasons, plays Oregon in the Holiday Bowl on Tuesday.
