Sweet home or not, FIU’s athletic department remains stuck in Alabama.
With Hurricane Irma approaching Florida, FIU decided to pick up and move its athletes and athletic operations to Alabama at the invitation of the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
When the Panthers will return to Miami is unknown.
One thing is for certain, however: The FIU football team is not going north to play this weekend.
According to Indiana, FIU canceled Saturday’s game with the Hoosiers citing the effects of Irma on South Florida and the many problems the storm has wrought.
Indiana says it is looking for a new opponent to play during its off week on Oct.
