CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - ESPN’s popular “College GameDay” show that precedes Saturday NCAA football games will be at the University of Miami for the first time.
According to Hurricane Sports, UM announced that “College GameDay” will be spending Saturday on the Coral Gables campus.
Though the show has been to Miami seven times for Hurricanes games, this marks the first time the show has arrived onto UM’s campus since its inception in 1987. The live show will precede Saturday’s Top 25 match-up with the No. 7 Hurricanes hosting the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The game marks Notre Dame’s first visit to South Florida to play UM since 1989.
