About the show

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.
