Miami cannot and I repeat cannot survive as an independent. How can our "Fanbase" be so incredibly stupid to believe this nonsense. Never mind the fact that Notre Dame gets a ton of money from their sidewalk alumni as well as their alumni, Notre Dame is the school for **** near every Catholic...

That's a distinct possibility, it's also the same thing USC is facing, sometimes, you are a victim of circumstances beyond your control. Doesn't mean you have to accept your fate, you should do everything possible, but there's a good chance Miami as an urban school, with a small donor pool may...

Maybe Duke ends up walking away from major college football. They can play high end basketball and not have a football program. Maybe they end up joining the Big East and downgrading their football program. I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of the small private schools, that have basketball...

I think Jay was willing to take the hit, if it meant that guys could own their futures. NIL needed to happen and if it means that college sports change, then so be it.

Larger state school, low academic standards, fanbase that fits within framework of SEC. UF is also much more likely to go along with FSU coming into the fold, because over the last 20 years, they have become mirror images of each other in regards to how they are managed and outlook. We may...

Houston isn't even the biggest collegiate program in their town, TAMU and UT are. There are more of those alumni in that area, than there are Houston alums. Houston is a huge media market, but it's also a pro town first, then UT/TAMU, THEN UH. With this expansion, the ACC MUST force ND to...

That's a wash, because us being in the SEC means those kids would be a target by more programs, they can pull the "We play Miami, so you can come here and still get to come home" card.

In the SEC, yes, we are. Small private school with actual academic standards in a major city, with small donor pool, and iffy local support.

It's not about having "puzzies" in charge, it's about economic and political realities. This is the part people like yourself refuse to admit. Miami would love to be able to do the same sketchy crap everyone else does, provided there are people with deep enough pockets to do it. The problem...

The problem is that the SEC would get everything and the Program would be basically a nicer version of Vanderbilt. Guess what? Vanderbilt is extremely similar to Miami, a small private school that is hampered in the SEC because of academic standards, being in a major city and having a small...

You realize that by doing independent, we would be dooming ourselves, right? It's almost like you haven't been paying attention to the last 30+ years of collegiate athletics, and the fact that there are few independents left for a reason. You can't survive that way, unless you are Notre Dame...

People keep bringing up Rutgers. They are NOTHING, and have been NOTHING for almost a full century. They don't capture the NYC market, they just happen to be the largest program in that area. The typical person in that part of the country doesn't care about college football, if they grew up...

Which is something our dumbass fanbase doesn't account for. There are other sports that have to be accounted for, because you can't have a program without being Title IX compliant. In other words, you have to have women's golf, women's basketball, swimming and diving programs. Guess what? You...

Let me sum up this paragraph: "I don't know anything about collegiate athletics, nor do I understand higher education management. However, I want to sound like I do, so I'll throw together this poorly reasoned nonsense and hope the idiots on this board eat it up" Let's start with the basics...

WHY WOULD WE BE, EVEN IF WE WERE WINNING? You idiots think that a small private school, with a small alumni base, and garbage fan support would be a top target? No, they want the huge state schools that have regional appeal. They want the schools that fit the profile. Never.mind the fact that...

KU won't be allowed to leave without KSU, and I don't know if schools like Iowa, Nebraska and others are going to tolerate that, just to get KU.

But we aren't in Big XII. If the Big XII raids the AAC, then that's their call. I wouldn't be shocked if they did, people forget that basketball still matters, and KU has some pull there. Football would be iffy at the top end, but there's a lot of decent middle tier teams remaining.
