High School
After originally committing to the University of Alabama following his senior season of high school in 2006, Marve changed his committment to Miami. Marve won the Florida Mr. Football Award as a senior in 2006 for Henry B. Plant High School in Tampa, Florida.
University of Miami
Marve was redshirted for his true freshman season in 2007, after a summer car accident where he suffered a broken arm. Marve was suspended for the first game of the 2008 season. Marve started his first career game in Miami's 2008 week 2 loss against the Florida Gators. Marve split playing time with true freshman Jacory Harris for the 2008 season starting every game except for the season opener versus Charleston Southern. Marve finished the 2008 regular season with 9 passing touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He also had 1,293 passing yards on 116 completions on 213 attempts, for a quarterback rating of 107.19. Marve was 6-5 a starter during the 2008-2009 season.[1] Miami accepted a bowl bid to play the University of California in the Emerald Bowl. On December 18, 2008 Marve was suspended for the Emerald Bowl against California due to academic reasons.[2] Robert Marve says his grades are fine. [3] On December 30, Marve decided to transfer from Miami, with Florida, Tennessee and LSU speculated as possible destinations for Marve.[1] However, Miami has made stipulations that Marve can not transfer to any school in Florida, the ACC, or the SEC. Thus eliminating those three schools as possibilities. He, his family, Carl Weaver, and others are fighting to eliminate this stipulation.[2]
After much negative publicity, Miami has lifted part of the transfer limitations. The only SEC schools excluded are the University of Florida, the University of Tennessee, and Louisiana State University. Those three schools were singled out for exclusion based on beliefs by Miami that individuals representing the Marve family contacted those schools for the potential transfer of Marve.[3]
