No University of Miami student-athlete, including football players, had the Coronavirus in the school’s two most recent cycles of testings, UM president Dr. Julio Frenk said.

Frenk, speaking Wednesday morning on CNBC, declined to say whether the Atlantic Coast Conference will decide to play football this season in the wake of the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences canceling their seasons.
