Will Miami Hurricanes football ‘Spring Game’ be replaced by a scrimmage?

Miami Athletic Director Blake James came to the Hurricanes baseball media day on Tuesday, then mostly ended up answering questions about football.

The topic of immediate interest: the spring football game. Word among insiders for weeks now is that UM was possibly — perhaps, probably — not going to have a spring game like in the past, as the ones the Hurricanes have had at Fort Lauderdale’s Lockhart Stadium.

A source told the Miami Herald that UM would have three spring scrimmages, but that it was unknown exactly how many would be open to the public. At least one of those scrimmages, the source said, could be in Boca Raton — possibly at coach Mark Richt’s alma-mater, Boca Raton High School.
