The time has come to stop referring to the University of Miami as a football school. Those days are long gone, ancient history.
That does not mean the passion for football in this town has dwindled. Not a bit. Fans are still obsessed with everything the UM football team does, every recruit, every transfer, every coaching change, every spring practice update.
But anybody who saw the sold-out Watsco Center spill onto the court and belt out “We are the Champions” last weekend while players and coaches cut down the nets can surely verify that Miami is now a football and basketball school.
