Confident in saying that Lake doesn't know a thing about what Miami is
actually doing to position itself in conference realignment. Take a look at his perspective on this:

The fact that a supposedly informed and "connected" CFB writer's perception of what we're doing is based on public facing actions (e.g., filing a lawsuit, leaking, etc.) is surprising in all the wrong ways. It goes to show that he has absolutely no idea whatsoever what's actually going on behind the scenes. The above is what a guy with no sources would say.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, since Mario took the job in December 2021, Miami FB is run through a very very tight information ecosystem. The leaking that occurred under prior coaches is not present today. There are only a few people in the media, definitely none of the Miami beat writers, that actually have an idea/info on what's really going on. Also, will say that a common tactic for writers that want info is to write something provocative, and hope you have someone in the know ****ed off enough about it to try and correct it. That's not gonna happen here.
This isn't to say that we're on the glide path to the Big 10 or anything like that, but to say that we're not being proactive on the single most important big picture issue in CFB is laughable.
