In 2006, Bryan Pata – a football star at the  University of Miami – was shot and killed outside his apartment. The death of a high-profile player from a major college football program was big news, but it didn’t lead to an arrest. 
But more than a decade later, the case found its way to a team of ESPN reporters. 
What they found was an exasperated family desperate for answers, a murder investigation that appeared to be cold (even though the police said it wasn’t), a legendary football program with a wild reputation in a tailspin, and a side to Bryan he didn’t want people to know about.

Description

In 2006, Bryan Pata was a senior defensive tackle for the University of Miami with a bright future ahead of him. The NFL was right around the corner, and he was months away from being able to buy his mom a house. Instead, one night in early November, Bryan was shot dead outside his apartment complex coming home from practice. From 30 for 30 Podcasts, Murder at The U tells the story of the shocking, high-profile murder that rocked the college football world and what happened when a team of ESPN reporters tried to get to the bottom of who killed Pata. Now, a suspect has emerged—who is headed to trial—and he is none other than one of Pata's teammates. Episodes drop Tuesdays and Thursdays starting 2/12.
