Partner up where? Miami's options were either have the OB renovated, where the estimates all were over 9 figures or move to Hard Rock. Miami wasn't going to pay to build a totally new stadium, and FIU was already renovating their on campus facility, which means that they were most likely staying...

The Orange Bowl seated well over 60,000 at the time of demolition. If Miami and FIU were to share the OB(Which Miami was probably not keen on, because FIU's needs and UMiami's needs are totally different, and FIU had already started renovating their ON CAMPUS FACILITY by that point), why would...

Why would Miami pay for additional seats, when the stadium was oversized to begin with? Miami, nor FIU was going to fill an 85,000+ seat facility. If the facility was going to be saved, seating capacity would have been REDUCED, NOT RAISED. The whole genesis of your poorly reasoned theory is...

Staying in the Big East would have ensured that this program would have continued to hemorrhage money. You imagine Miami staying in the Big East as all this crazy crap went on? It would have been a LOT easier to keep Miami locked out. At least Miami has a fighting chance now, in the ACC. In...

You are a lot more patient than me. What's funny is that a lot of these Miami Bros don't understand that the marketing of sports has changed in the last 20 years. Ever since the expansion of cable and the invention of HDTV, watching a game AT HOME has become significantly more desirable...

For us that ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY, she did right by us. The school's prestige went up, she raised BILLIONS of dollars for the University, raising our endowment and helping bring in some much needed upgrades. Now, she wasn't perfect, but her stewardship of the UNIVERSITY was amazing. People...

Actually, it didn't. Miami's attendance went right right back down a couple of years later. Take it from someone that actually attended games and was a student at the University at the time. My freshman year(2004), unless it was FSU or Louisville, there were a ton of poorly attended games...

Renovating an existing stadium that is structurally unsound and hasn't been touched in decades is significantly more expensive than building a brand new one on unimproved land. There's a reason why most facilities are discarded once they reach the end of their lifespan, instead of renovating...

Even if your story was true(Which it isn't) tell me where that 30 million dollars was coming from. Sure as **** wasn't coming from blowhards like yourself. I know it's shocking, you can't just pull funds from the endowment like you pull from your checking account. The OB needed hundreds of...

Another "Fan" that doesn't know a thing. I want to hear how Dr. Shalala was responsible for the City of Miami ignoring a vote to renovate the OB, and going with a sketchy backroom deal, one that will ***** over Miami tax payers for DECADES. The City of Miami owned the OB, UMiami was not going...
