UM President Julio Frenk: Football likely to be played in empty stadiums

University of Miami President Julio Frenk is optimistic a college football season will be played in the fall, however, he said it will likely occur in empty stadiums during a Wednesday interview.

“We certainly hope so,” Frenk said on CNN when asked if the Miami Hurricanes will play. “Everything we do will have safety of our students as the top priority. We don’t feel it’s safe, we won’t do it, but with the measures we’re taking, we will and we hope it will open.

“They will probably play in empty stadiums, like so many other sports, but we hope to have a season and we hope to have a winning season.
