UF President Fuchs ‘fully and firmly committed to following CDC guidelines’ for football

After comments post-game by coach Dan Mullen asking for a full house in The Swamp vs LSU, the university’s president answered back.

Ostensibly in response to Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen’s comments after the road loss to the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, university president Kent Fuchs took to Twitter to set the record straight regarding any crowds allowed on campus, including Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, a.k.a. The Swamp.

His cumulative tweets offered the following with links to sources.

UF remains fully and firmly committed to following CDC guidelines for every part of our campus from classrooms to athletic venues as well as the guidance of our own experts at @UFHealth and local and state health officials.

This includes physical distancing by ensuring 6 feet between yourself and others and wearing a mask or cloth face covering. Although adherence to the guidelines restricts our behavior and limits the occupancy of our facilities…

these preventative measures remain the most effective ways to slow the spread of COVID-19. It is important that all members of the UF community and our campus visitors follow this guidance.”
