If players use um for better offers u know that what dee said about offer$ is right because why behave this way if u aint getting bread. If MR can somehow offer what those other schools cabt we will be back in no time. If he cant we r in trouble.....he cant have those early warning red flags where he loses elite prospects down the road an expect to be dominant. Those r the red flags i look for early in the beginning of a coaches tenure.
They have to close
Miami can't play that game.
We'll lose every time.
Understand the difference between their revenue stream and their booster network and ours. That will answer all your questions about what we can and can't do. These are just facts.
The wealth of the UM community privately dwarfs that of Bama and the redneck public SEC schools.
The difference is this: very few of the UM millionaires and billionaires care all that much about football. And the ones that do, wouldn't be caught dead giving a wad of cash to some kid.
At Alabaga? The average annual income is barely above the poverty line but every last one of those toothless scum would give their last penny just to see the football team win. That's all they have in their lives. And that's why in the most wretched places in the country you find those type of "boosters" carrying (and dropping) bags.
I wouldn't be so sure.
They have some mega rich boosters, just do your own research. Especially Bear Bryant's son and his banking business. Lots of opportunities to do things. They also have highly monied foundations that we don't have.
There's demographically way more money in south Florida, it's just not that much with our boosters. We have a much smaller school, with a much smaller alumni base, and our boosters aren't the ultra rich, for the most part.
There's tons of rich people in S Florida, 99% don't give a shīt about UM football, almost all are not alums.
This is what people that aren't from down here don't get about Miami and South Florida.
