Major Miami Hurricanes benefactor Alex Rodriguez was quoted on the Twitter account for the baseball team supporting the promotion of pitching coach J.D. Arteaga to head coach. The NCAA has issued a change in its policy to lighten restrictions for athletes seeking to get out of their national letters of intent.

Rodriguez who donated $3.9 million to the Miami Hurricanes baseball program in 2009 and whose stadium bears his name stated his connection with Arteaga dates to little league. Rodriguez praised the work ethic of Arteaga, his character and strong leadership. Arteaga is expected by Rodriguez to have Miami competing for titles.

The highlights of the New National Letters of Intent are that signees can request a release if there is a head coaching change, the signee completes at least one academic semester and four-year transfers can sign an NLI that would not allow other schools to contact them per Will Backus of CBS Sports.

The new NLI rules could help the Miami Hurricanes across multiple sports. In several sports, athletes want to return home. The new NLI rules are far less restrictive on athlete movement. Several of the Miami football transfers in recent years have been players that returned to South Florida.
