Thanks Johnny Football. University of Miami changes policy

Every year the University of Miami holds a "cansefest" event. One of the highlights is they have the football team all sit in a row and sign items for the fans. You wait in line and you get 1 of 3 "rows" of players. You can get back in to try for another row or even 3 in the 2 hours of the signing. I usually would get a helmet signed by the team and maybe an extra mini of the biggest stars.

Not any more. This from the event website.

The free event is set to run from 4-7 p.m. Saturday. Free parking is available in the BankUnited Center lots. Doors will open at 4 p.m. and the football team is expected to sign autographs and meet fans from 5-7 p.m

Coaches and student-athletes will be available to sign autographs. As part of the University of Miami’s commitment to NCAA compliance and in light of recent national news, student-athletes will only sign the official Miami Hurricanes athletics team posters that will be provided for free at the event. Please do not bring or ask student-athletes to sign other items. Your cooperation and support for the athletics department in complying with NCAA regulations is greatly appreciated.


Thank you Jonny Football
