Julio Frenk does not appear to be a university administrator content to watch his school’s athletic program from the sidelines.
In his last stop before becoming UCLA’s chancellor, Frenk led an overhaul of the University of Miami’s athletic department, bringing in a new athletic director and football coach after the Hurricanes were criticized for not making football a priority under Frenk’s leadership.
That shakeup resulted in coach Mario Cristobal leading his team to a 10-3 season in 2024 that represented the Hurricanes’ best finish in nearly a decade.
Can UCLA fans expect a similar level of involvement in athletics from their new chancellor?
