But I have not been as assured that Dan is powerful enough or purpose-driven enough to put us in the driver's seat on realignment, no matter how impulsive Julio gets.
There are concerns. Alums need to start putting the pressure on the BOT and other Athletic Department personnel.
I don’t like your tone sir. I don’t recall seeing these “concerns” from you previously in regards to realignment.
Come on man these guys will be reaching out to some jose mas in HallandaleContact Jose Mas.

"You don't need money to win".....Here's a summary of Rad's interview, the main points he made:
- You don't need money to win
- The ACC is a great league for the University of Miami
- The schedule would be too hard for Miami in the SEC, we like playing Georgia Tech
- Big 10 universities have more sports that drain resources so the gap in dollars between conferences isn't that bad
- Big10 and SEC TV contracts help other sports more than they help football, we can still compete with less money
- Adding Cal, Stanford, and SMU was really good because it created a larger pool of money
- Clemson or FSU leaving would affect us because we want to play both, BUT the league would be fine regardless because we added Cal, Stanford, and SMU staying above 15
- Clemson and FSU have nowhere to go becasue other conferences probably won't take them
Time for Herbstreit to make comments again on Game Day!!Contact Jose Mas.

I’m not connected at all to anything, but just reading between the tea leaves, I haven’t had warm and fuzzies about things working in the shadows for a minute. I think when the whole voting for adding the 3 schools happened, it just felt like our leadership isn’t aligned when it comes to the future.**** the interview. My feelings have been changing over the past six months for OTHER reasons, and I've stated that in multiple posts.
Dan is strongest on building facilities, which we have sorely needed for a long time.
Dan is "an adult" AD who is capable of making good strategic decisions. However, myself and many others with close connections to the University have been trying to figure out how much Frenk is impacting things, since Joe and Rudy seem to have been sidelined.
Dan is definitely questionable on making personnel decisions, and it would concern me to have to find a replacement for Coach L while Dan is in charge.
So, no, "the interview" has not changed my perception at all. Actual interactions and intel from my friends has been changing my perception since the spring.
We have hired a very good replacement for Parker, so I feel good about facilities and fund-raising. But I have not been as assured that Dan is powerful enough or purpose-driven enough to put us in the driver's seat on realignment, no matter how impulsive Julio gets.

exactly my thoughts....it feels like they are waiting for the timing to be right financially.Miami likes money. Anyone who has ever paid tuition there can vouch for that. The only thing Miami likes more than money is even more money.
When somebody with the U logo printed on their shirt.... somebody whose job description straight includes fundraising and managing budgets.... when that person tells you "we don't need money to do XYZ," well my advice to you would be to take that statement with a giant grain of salt because they're selling something.
If Miami were free and clear and had an offer on the table to make more money in the SEC or Big 10, they would take the money and not look back.
I can't say for certain what's going to happen, but I can say with confidence that Miami is not putting their love of playing Georgia Tech or any of that other stuff Rad was selling ahead of a big payday in a P2 conference. If we stay, it's either becuase they feel it would cost more to make the jump at this time than we'd make, or because there's no landing spot secured. If we go, it's because it makes more financial sense to go.
I think they leave only if the ACC is about to implode.exactly my thoughts....it feels like they are waiting for the timing to be right financially.
