do you believe there's a world out there where Vandy and Indiana thrive in college football and Miami doesn't?
Miami is a football brand.. absolutely a top 20 brand and some could argue top 10 STILL... the fact that it's that close even after 20 years of irrelevancy speaks to the value of the Miami BRAND...
they'll find a home because Miami football is a brand that adds value... while there are still a dozen-ish brands between the B1G and SEC that detract/reduce value...
I would say that it's a possibility for Indiana or Vandy if I'm being honest. Vandy has absolutely loaded alumni base and Indiana is one of the largest. The way things stand now, basically pay for play. If those two get their NIL deals on order yes they would thrive while we wouldn't.
It's a different world today. We aren't the Miami of old and generally are written off by most programs. Nobody fears us anymore, we're basic ******* until we prove otherwise. People recognize out brand, but it isn't top 20, let alone top 10. We rank 26th. For comparisons sake, UF is 6th and FSU is 8th.
