Being an Athletic Director at any school is a tough gig. Being the AD at the University of Miami is no exception. Yes, you work where most of America dreams of vacations, yet it comes with plenty of responsibility and demands from a multitude of voices—from donors and alumni to students and fans. For what it’s worth, James Blake has done a commendable job of running the program. Recently, the Hurricanes came to an agreement to host UAB for a non-conference game in the 2020 season. The news was greeted with mixed reactions. To the detractors, lets not forget that Miami will start the 2018 season against LSU and are scheduled to play the Gators for the first time since 2013, as well as face Michigan State in 2020 along with UAB and Temple.
