They have not invited new members since the 1990s. In mafia terms, the books are closed. Being an AAU member doesn't really mean anything. There are schools many times better in quality than some of the "AAU accredited" institutions. As I said earlier, one of the biggest factors in...

Big picture- Miami thinks its academics warrant being in the smartest conference. The ACC is by far the most academically prestigious of the P5. It's a toss up for #2 between the Pac12 and B1G. Pac12 has Stanford, Cal, and even UCLA and USC are in or near the top 25. Obviously joining the...

I get a chuckle out of schools like Wisconsin and Minnesota calling themselves "Public Ivies." It's like Miami or other schools calling themselves the "Harvard of the [insert region]." It probably gets the administrators feted at their fancy ****tail parties though. I would bet you a shiny...

Members have to pay $80k per year in membership dues. I wouldn't be surprised if Miami was like, "80k? That's too expensive for an accreditation we don't really need." AAU isn't like the Big10 Academic Alliance where there is a 10 billion pot of research money. It's more prestige and...

If Kansas and Missouri can get AAU accredited, Miami can get AAU accredited. I think Pitt, UVA, GT, Duke, and Miami would all be desirable for the B1G. Pitt, UVA, GT, and Duke are already AAU accredited. I don't think the UGA will let GT into the SEC so they will be looking for a home if...

Last season when we played Duke, it was around 40 degrees. We won 48-0. They make thermal underwear now that keeps you nice and toasty. Cold weather shouldn't be the reason to keep Miami out of the B1G. It gets really, really, really cold in some parts of SEC and ACC country as well. Many...

I was half joking to justify how we could be competitive in the B1G but not so much in the ACC. The takeaway though is that a Miami team that most people though was totally devoid of talent had players on the rooster that were plenty good enough to absolutely crush one of the better teams in...

On one hand, you have the SEC that might give payouts of 55 million per team (I assume with a reworked deal) and a conference with a reputation of putting athletics before academics. On the other you have the B1G that might give payouts of 60-65 million per team AND allows any conference member...

I think the move to the ACC already took care of that. If we are going to be a nearly dead program, at least we can get rich in the B1G. Miami should be good at both athletics and academics; but at least be good at just one of those. Right now we suck in both those areas. Miami with an...

Also need to factor in global warming. If media reports are to believed, by 2030 Michigan should be 85 degrees in December. Advantage: Miami

As someone else said, it goes both ways. Yes our guys will freeze their balls off but when Michigan goes from playing in 20 degree weather to 85 with 90% humidity in December, their players will be passing out on the field by the third quarter.

Well, the closest Miami has been to being nationally relevant again was in 2017 when basically the entire starting roster was composed of Al Golden recruits, whom he had recruited trying to build a big 10 team. One opponent we played that closely resembled a big 10 team was Notre Dame, and we...

It's a interesting debate as to which area is a better cultural fit for Miami. Miami isn't a southern redneck town. You have a lot of folks from the eastern seaboard and especially from the New York/New Jersey area. The school fancies itself as being a rich private school with top academics...
