Three starters for the Miami Hurricanes took a limousine ride the night before the NCAA announced sanctions against the school, and police are investigating a sports agent’s role in the matter.

The limo was ordered through the office of Jim Ferraro, a Miami-based lawyer, agent and university booster.

If the NCAA determines Ferraro paid for the limo, the players - running back Danyell Ferguson and wide receivers Jammi German and Yatil Green - would be declared ineligible.

Ferraro denies paying for the limo or trying to recruit any of the players as clients.
