The University of Miami football team will begin on-field preparation for the 2018 season when spring practice begins March 20.
The football spring practice calendar might follow last year’s 15-session schedule of Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday practice dates, but the date of the spring game still has not been set.
Last year there was no spring game at Hard Rock Stadium because of renovations, but there was a final scrimmage at Boca Raton Community High School. This year a spring game is expected at Hard Rock, but nothing has been finalized, a UM spokesman said.
Also on Tuesday, Hurricanes athletic director Blake James was asked if there was anything new with the Arkansas State saga in which ASU is threatening to sue UM if it does not receive the “liquidated damages’’ fee of $650,000 “on or before’’ Thursday, as set forth in a letter to UM on Monday, and in the original contract.
