Here's where canedude is wrong. He equates actual physical attendance at football games with being a fan of the school/sport. Look, we all know that live attendance for pro sports is down. People can watch from home, people play fantasy sports, in-person attendance is costly and...

Absolutely for. She did a lot of stuff that most university presidents would never do, such as meeting with recruits during visits. Sadly, some of her overall theories on management (hiring young up-and-comers) were not so great for UM football. 1. Kirby Hocutt - only prior AD experience was...

It's an insane idea. It's never going to happen. Which part of that comparison do you find to be identical? Our rankings? Purdue is a state school. Every state school has expensive "out-of-state" tuition. Miami is a small private school. On an undergrad basis, we are just above 8,000...

Again, we are not Purdue. We are not a state school. Jeb Bush is never going to happen.

^^^This guy understands, and he truly knows what he is talking about on each and every item that he cites. For all of Frenk's "accolades" and "accomplishments" on his resume, he may have stabilized the med school situation, but he is not responsible for any major positive initiatives. No...

From The Miami Herald, at the time Frenk was hired: "Julio Frenk, the newly anointed president of the University of Miami, is a world authority on public health. He holds a medical degree and a Ph.D. and has been a dean at Harvard and minister of health in his native Mexico, where he launched a...

I agree with you 100%, it was a huge mistake. The truth is simple (don't listen to the right-wingers who falsely invent some Frenk-Shalala connection), Frenk was hired for his medical/health background, as UM's Med School is (unfortunately) a super-high priority to UM. And for the people who...

We are not F$U. We are not a landing spot for Republicans with no immediate future in the Republican Party. Jeb Bush does not have the academic background. Period. Condoleezza Rice is more likely, but post-Shalala, it is highly unlikely that we would ever hire a president who has been active...

There are no rumors about Jeb Bush, the rumors are about Frenk leaving. All of the Republicans on the board are just going to have to drop their delusions about Jeb Bush and Condoleezza Rice, neither of those will ever happen. Admiral Stavridis might happen, and I hope that it does, regardless...

Football didn't make UCF the 2nd largest university in America. Massive amounts of land, massive Florida population, and massive spending on buildings (and a related scandal) have made UCF so large. Now, if you want to talk about APPLICATIONS to UCF, then you may have an impact due to...
