Miami football fans rip Dick Vitale criticizing Hurricanes defeating Central Connecticut State

Miami football fans called out longtime ESPN basketball analyst Dick Vitale following a tweet he posted criticizing the Hurricanes 69-0 victory over Central Connecticut State on Saturday. Vitale chose the Miami victory as an example despite Power Five schools’ blowout victories every season over FCS schools.

Alabama defeated FCS Mercer 48-14 two weeks ago. Following being correctly called out by Miami football postgame show host Alex Donno, Vitale walked his comments back stating that “No one is ripping them / the kids played hard & just doing their best. Matchups like that should not happen.
