Need to give credit where it's due - Julio Frenk not only helped save Miami football this year, but he was a leading advocate for both the ACC and NCAA to find a way to play this fall.

As a medical professional, I thought for sure his stance would be highly conservative and lean heavily towards delay/cancellation until a vaccine was available. All evidence shows that he did exactly the opposite and the ACC consulted his medical opinion to help implement a plan for the season to take place. More importantly, he became a figurehead for sports advocacy that would allow for safe return to the field; taking interviews with nearly every major news outlet including CNN, MSNBC and CNBC.

In the coming months and years I'm certain we'll hear stories of how Frenk stepped up and helped to deliver a college football season while keeping players, fans and students as safe as possible.

What "evidence"? How is he a "figurehead"? I don't think you know the meaning of certain words that you used.

Frenk has been a terrible university president for five years. As a president of one of a few-dozen P5 programs choosing to play football, yes, he was interviewed.

He'll stay on a bit longer, but then he needs to move on.

Covid-19 didn't make Frenk a better university president. He's the worst UM has ever had.
 
I agree. We are quick to bash these leaders when they fvck up, we should be just as quick to give praise when they do a job well done.
Nice Job, Mr. Frenk and all involved in getting this season off the mat! ALL Canes fans appreciate getting to see our Canes take the field tomorrow night.

He better than any of those saps in the Little Tin or Pack Fudge! At least for now.

What a ridiculous comment, for far too many reasons.

Frenk is the worst UM president ever.

I do not have any information or data to determine an either/or position. I am curious what are your reasons for such a stance on Frenk as University President?

Do you have any friends?
 
@TheOriginalCane is correct. Before Covid, there was a lot of discussion about how bad he was and how unlikely he was to stay much longer. His handling of this might just have gotten him another 5 years.

Miserable as always.

His leadership during the pandemic is noteworthy, but from what I’ve read the University’s academic ranking and stature has fallen during his tenure. This does not bode well for extending his stay.

Frenk may very well suck at everything being a major university president entails but I don't think there's much doubt his medical background was a major asset during this pandemic. Whether or not it buys him more time is yet to be determined.

Truth.

why would he delay or cancel the season? The science would not suggest that. Commend him for following the science instead of his p-analytics

Exactly. You and I may disagree on some things, but you are honest and fair.

ToiletBowlMagic, on the other hand, is still chasing me around because I mocked him in a thread once or a thousand times. JoeCane too.
