Start Time Postponed for Miami vs. Ball State due to Lightning Delay

Saturday at 4:49 PM 1 min read

The Miami Hurricanes game against Ball State has been in a lightning delay since just before 3:30 pm EST. It does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Follow along here for updates and continue the conversation on the pregame thread

University officials announced we remain in a lightning delay. A start time has not been shared, we will keep you guys updated on here till we have a start time.

An NCAA rule is that for every lightning strike, they have to add 30 minutes to the delay.

UPDATE AT 5:20 PM: Miami's new kickoff time is set for 5:55

UPDATE AT 5:05 PM: The next time it could be all clear is 5:35

The weather has been fine for hours. No lightning has struck the field or the stands. We should be in the third quarter right now blowing out Ball State but because the university wants to be s bunch of pussies we’re all sitting around waiting

With a roof.

Enough with the bush league ****.

Yes, Syracuse, UTSA, and UNLV are the only colleges who aren't bush league in FBS.

Hopefully you were being as sarcastic as I was in my post.

With all due respect, it's very possible that you just might be the biggest moron ever to post on this site. Lightning is and has been striking all around the stadium and you think they should endanger thousands of people just for your amusement.

A. Literally an NCAA rule, not the university's decision.
B. Thank you for sharing your expertise as the Head of Public Safety for Tylenol in the '80's.
