MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — A potential stadium conflict could exist if the Miami Hurricanes host a first-round game in this year's College Football Playoff, with a Spanish league soccer game set to be played at Hard Rock Stadium in that same window.
La Liga is sending Barcelona and Villarreal to play in Miami Gardens on Dec. 20, on the same field the Hurricanes call home. The CFP schedule calls for one first-round game to be played on Dec. 19 and three on Dec. 20.
If Miami is somewhere between No. 5 and No. 8 in the final CFP rankings — and at this point, that would seem to be a very real possibility — the Hurricanes would be in line to host a game on one of those two December dates.
Miami athletic director Dan Radakovich said Friday that talks are ongoing to find a solution. ESPN rep
