Joe Echevarria is Miami’s new president. And on the sideline, he’s the Hurricanes’ biggest fan

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — University of Miami president Joe Echevarria has had football season tickets since 1978, the year he graduated from the school. The seats he buys now are as good as most people can get, field club seats right behind one of the goalposts. He doesn’t use them. He’s found an even better view. Instead of his luxury seats Echevarria can be found on Miami gamedays on the Hurricanes’ sideline, home or away, trying to be presidential but more often than not reverting to fandom.
