Irma, which has vascillated between a Category 3 and Category 5 hurricane in recent days, was en route Saturday toward the southern portion of Florida.
"I give (UW athletic director Barry Alvarez) credit," Chun told ESPN.
"Him and his staff made it very clear to us they would make any and all accommodations necessary to ensure that if the stay was elongated, they would assist us in any way possible."
The university does not yet know when FAU's football team and others in the traveling party, including family members, can return, due to the nature of the situation.
