If I were Ross, I would triple Miami’s rent the next time the lease is up for negotiation. Miami has left itself without any alternatives, so they will be forced to pay. They have no choice.

Great point. An on campus stadium would be huge for school spirit.

We’ve accomplished nothing since we moved to Steven Ross’ stadium.

I know that was meant as a joke, but **** that would be badass.

And what do you think my point was? It was that the lease for Hard Rock ends in 12 years, and that trustees know Hard Rock isn't ideal. I supplied a quote from a trustee saying that Hard Rock isn't ideal. That has nothing to do with Beckham.

UM having its own stadium would be a huge pull for recruits. Especially if the stadium were on campus. I never said anything about Beckham. That was always a dumb idea. Really, we should build a stadium that seats about 40,000 to 45,000.

Never say never. We have 12 years left on the lease at Hard Rock. And our own trustees know that Hard Rock isn't ideal. “Let’s hope Steve (Ross) doesn’t make it difficult,” said a high-ranking UM Board of Trustee member. “Our fans don’t like it up there; they want to be down south. That’s...

Tell you what.... if I ever do that, I'll name a section after you.

Nah. It's probably a crass thing to say, but it's not dumb. What's dumb is going through life letting other people set limits for you, or tell you what you can't do, or what can't be accomplished. That mentality is cancer.

That I actually respect. And I respect that you're spending your time around the team, doing what you love. And I did own the fact that I got the size of the lake wrong, by the way. I never throw the first punch, but I do punch back.

I didn't say that they did, did I? In fact I explicitly said that a lot of people aren't living near campus. And I said it's impossible to know how many.

It's impossible to know that for sure, but humor me. The number of registered voters in Coral Gables is 29,772, according to the city's website: https://www.coralgables.com/2017-election-home The number of students at UM is about 17,000, and the number of employees at UM is about 16,000...

“Know who I’m talking to?” You are one coloring book away from being illiterate and you’re trying to puff your chest like you’re some kind of tycoon? I actually hope you are rich. I don’t think you’re very intelligent, but I like to see the simple guy succeed. I did love the movie...

Man, I've given up trying to reason with these folks. The poverty mentality of the third world runs so deep in South Florida that no amount of reasoning or logic can snap them out of it. They don't have the entrepreneurial, "go getter" spirit of the rest of America - they're just consumed with...

You're right.... I looked up the wrong lake osceola. There is still room for an on-campus stadium. If you take Baylor's new stadium - the school is about the same size enrollment-wise as Miami - you can superimpose it on a google map of Miami's campus and find a few places to fit it. One...

I would suggest filling in about 1/5th of Lake Osceola at the center of campus. The surface area of the lake is about 156 acres. Stanford's stadium, which we can look at as a reference, sits on about 18 acres including parking. Most universities don't have dedicated stadium parking. Instead...

Yeah, you really strike me as the type who doesn’t care what other people think of you. That’s why you post pictures of you with former players, or try to brag about how you’re “on campus” because your “portfolio” would have the rest of us “embarrassed” or some barely coherent **** like that...

I’m sure you knew all along. You don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re,” but I’m sure you’ve taken the time to learn the history of the mayor of Coral Gables or read up on the land requirements for stadium construction. Seems legit.

Then why am I the only one who knew that the mayor of Coral Gables is an ex UM trustee? Why am I the only one who knew the population of the Gables, as well as the employee and student count of UM? Why am I the only one who knew how many acres a typical college football stadium sits on, or the...

Yet nearly every other university in America manages to make it work. Some are in bigger cities than Miami, or places with worse roads. I guess you can choose to believe that Miami’s situation is really so unique and different. I think it’s more likely that UM’s admin is just cheap and...
