Sorry I don't get it... Blake James? Or just not getting success in football? If the latter, it's as I've said for years here. The major donors are limited. Some really, really care about football. Some don't, at all. So, on one hand, you have a Jeffrey Soffer (bad example as he doesn't...

Some did. Some don't care about football. But it's still not relevant. I'm still talking about the opinions of the fans who don't donate. Have been the whole time. And again, the extreme vast majority of the fanbase doesn't donate anything. And I'm still saying that the ones who do, in a...

@Rellyrell I'll make you a deal. I'll call up Alumni Relations and see if I can get data on alum vs. non-alum donations and the sizes of said donations. I'm curious. It'd probably be really, really difficult to compare the figures on a national level, but it should at least give an indication...

Yes, graduate school is VERY different, and people almost exclusively give to their undergrad alma mater. That's how it works. I have no interest in spending money on grad school, but I can assure you, if it wasn't Miami, they'd never get a dime from me beyond what my diploma costs. Look, I...

Uhhh... please tell me how many football national championships Stanford and Duke have combined. Then look at every school that's won a national title since 1980 and tell me which ones are private and academically prestigious. I'll wait. I don't think you can remotely comprehend your logical...

No, they're not. You can't compare singles tennis to football just like you can't compare basketball to football. If you're comparing Texas, probably the most ravenous region for football on earth, to Miami, you are really lost as to the reality of the situation. Miami recently got $100...

1) You do realize that basketball requires far, FAR less resources than football, right? And that the extreme vast majority of schools that are good at football are NOT good at basketball, short of the ENORMOUS state schools, with all the money in the world? But, using Duke as an example.... I...

I'm sure MIT alums are ****ED they've never won a national title while graduating into six figure salaries.

Uhhh... Duke isn't good at football dude. Never have been. Their grads are probably pretty happy getting prestigious jobs that pay extremely well. You could use Northwestern, Tulane, etc. here. Do you think Princeton grads give one single rat's *** about how the football team plays? What...

You're wrong. Mostly. The ones who care, care. All of my friends care a lot more about the football program than the children on this board who throw temper tantrums over everything without having a clue about the University itself. The problem is, we actually understand the issues of being...

Cool. Here is a rational take that isn't "Blake James SUCKS," "the ADMINISTRATION is to blame," or "FIRE EVERYONE AND HIRE ONLY FOOTBALL ALUMS!" Which is my point. So, you've proven my point. This still all boils down to what I've been on record discussing here many times. Many of the...

All the people who complain about how Miami spends money are the same people who have never donated a dime, stepped on campus or actually been to a game. The fans complain way, WAY more than the alumni.

And yet you still have absolutely nothing to indicate I'm wrong about anything I've said. But apparently the truth hurts your fragile little feelings.

Yup. Everything about this is correct, despite the fact morons like @NicKane and @wushah don't want to believe it. I'll also add, we have one of the most international alumni bases of any major university, and they by and large don't give a rat's *** about football.

LMAO just because this dude knows what he's talking about a lot more than your sorry *** doesn't mean he has anywhere near as much understanding as I do sweetheart. You're all just little children screaming about how you want to eat cookies for every meal.

I was in business management at J.P. Morgan by the time I was 26. Maybe you've heard of them? Would you like to discuss with me your experience in successful businesses?

Finance determines operations. Please stop talking about business as if you understand it. Specifically, university finance. I seriously doubt you know the slightest thing about non-profit finance.

Do you have a degree or professional experience in business operations management? I'd say they treat it very much like a business, seeking return on investment without making massive capital outlays they can't afford for minimal assurance of actual ROI.

If you think it's used as an excuse: 1) You're an absolute moron, and 2) You know absolutely nothing about the University of Miami.

This would require a modicum of thought at somewhere near the second-grade level, which CIS is collectively completely incapable of.
