Miami Hurricanes AD Blake James: ‘We’re dealing with COVID issues, as is the rest of the world’

For the past two games, the number of Miami Hurricanes unavailable to play was in double digits. On Monday, the team’s COVID-19 predicament worsened, leading to a two-week postponement of the three remaining UM games and possibly football practices.

“It’s probably no surprise to anyone we’re dealing with COVID issues, as is the rest of the world,” UM athletic director Blake James told 560-AM on Tuesday morning following the Monday evening announcement. “I think you saw, this past weekend, that we were short a sizable amount of our team. As it continued to progress, it climbed to a number where it just wouldn’t allow us to play in a game, really, looking out for the safety and well-being for our students.
