Incidentally, back in 2010 or so the county almost violated some terms of its tax exempt bonds used to build Marlins Park that would have defaulted them. That would have made all of them payable presently at their full value of $2.6b.

I’d love it and agree it is a talking point. I’m just saying at present we need to get a few other things tidied up and for sure need different leadership for it to ever be a possibility. But any AD should set their goals and sights high and nothing would be better as a statement of intent and...

I hear what you’re saying, but this one is not a today or tomorrow fix. First off, there’s no land on campus for it. So they would have to either buy one of the golf courses nearby or go to Tropical Park. That is a long process. Then they have to deal with Coral Gables, which has zero...

Would you entrust Blake James and his team to spend your money? That aside, when was the athletic department's last large-scale fundraising campaign like the Momentums for the university as a whole? Because just about every AD worth a salt has been doing them in recent years while the market...

At this rate, I would hire his unborn grandchild as our AD. Obviously Dan is not leaving Clemson, but maybe he would have a recommendation on names to look at if we get rid of Blake. He got his MBA at UM and worked in Miami through the early to mid 80s. Maybe someone on the board knew him...

I mean, the Soffers cut a massive check for the IPF and if the rumors are true, were ready to cut another one for Mario. If your AD turns away that second half, who is to blame? Paul DiMare has been spending a fortune on improving our baseball facilities, now that his son is employed by the...

If you are focusing on the stadium, I think the bigger and maybe only question is what is their campus like vs. ours. The rest is kind of irrelevant. We are pretty much landlocked in a city that has no interest in permitting this. Waco seems much more amenable to pushing this through than...

The biggest kick in the pants is that Clemson's AD is a UM alum. We had three bites at the apple to hire him and he was probably never considered at any point. Granted, a large part of it was tied to Dabo getting that to where it is, but what if.

That preceded him. In fact, leading them through the fallout is even more of a check for him.
