Teddy Bridgewater has been suspended from his head football coaching position at Miami Northwestern after he disclosed on social media that he paid for players' Uber rides. The length of the suspension remains unspecified, but reports indicate that he will not coach the upcoming season, and no replacement has been appointed. Bridgewater's statement emphasized that if he is not affiliated with MNW, he is free to coach elsewhere but expressed a commitment to remain with the program, even considering volunteering from the stands if necessary. His actions were in violation of FHSAA rules.
The suspension came from MNW and it's impossible to suspend someone who doesn't work for you. So if im suspended from MNW im free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
Bridgewater recently posted about paying for the Uber rides recently, which are considered 'impermissible benefits' by the Florida High School Athletic Association's rules.
According to the FHSAA policy, FHSAA rules address transportation in the context of student eligibility and potential violations of impermissible benefits. Specifically, a coach cannot provide free or reduced-cost transportation to a student, nor can they purchase anything for a student.
No replacement coach has been named as of yet, and it's confirmed that Bridgewater will not be allowed to coach the Bulls this coming season.
