I get what you're saying but unfortunately NIKE was low balling us with a mediocre renewal offer and right now college football is all about that money. In order to compete you need "money" and if adidas offered more the. I don't blame them for going with the money.

And I don't blame Nike for low balling us. Before Oregon was their baby, we were. Did you just see what Nike did w/ Michigan?? Broke them off handsomely. Why? B/c they hired a new great football coach. They invested in their football program, and in turn, that investment was handsomely rewarded.

By keeping Golden and his results, Nike low balled us. Fact: If we would've made a splash hire last year, that offer would've went WAY up (and that's insider info). So I'm not mad at Nike low balling us, b/c right now, we've shown that we are currently an inferior product living off past glory (dang that just hurt to say). At the end of the day it's about business from both sides.

However, w/ that being said, there's no way in da world Adidas should've been allowed to give us pop warner uniforms. Take the money; fine....but don't look cheap and pop warner-ish in the process. Have been very disappointed in their design choice for all the unis, thus far.

Dude our alumni is the size of a high school gym compare to big state schools. Of course UM has money , but unfortunately that money is only to be used for certain projects ( such as med school etc..)

There are something like 170,000 alumni. Many are ridiculously rich. We have plenty of money, so please stop with this absurd myth.

Who perpetuated this myth?? Billion dollar projects often funded by donors ASAP. Yet we're broke. If we literally put up a campaign for the football program, that mug would fly open ASAP. Don't know y this mythical illusion is still allowed to be used as an excuse?

I'm not a fan of these new uni's but let's keep some perspective. Nike hasn't always got it right either.
 
My guess is that Ah di Das uses European designers and obviously have no urban influence on their design teams. Even an ol school player like myself I tend to buy Nike.
 
WTF is wrong with Adidas designers. Every year their jerseys get worse, and to think they are affiliated with us is sickening.

Dunno. It's one of the oldest UM excuses around. I've heard it since I've started following Miami.

TRUE.
 
It all goes back to the admin/BOT someone at the school is not letting this program go forward. Thats why they are happy with the money coming in and that's it there is no desire to be great. As long as we stay like this nothing will change. Golden should have been fired last year, but they didn't because they didn't wanna spend the money on the buyout
 
And just to add fuel to the fire one of our own just signed a deal with Under Armour. The rock just announced that he signed with Under Armour **** that's a slap in the face to this program even our own alumni is going with the competition. Welp😒😒😒
