Manny Diaz: Without sports we’ve learned importance of Miami Hurricanes community

The Miami Hurricanes football program is a vital part of the sports landscape in South Florida. Over 50,000 people unite about a half dozen times in late summer and throughout the fall to cheer on and watch the football team. The impact football has on American society can not be overstated.

Football provides financially for the vast majority of collegiate sports to be able to be run. Without football, most college athletic programs would not exist. During an appearance on the Joe Rose Show on WQAM on Monday morning, Miami head coach Manny Diaz was asked about the pressure of football financially.
