Still absolutely insane to me that the University of Miami does not have a Men's Golf team. The amount of beautiful courses down there would be a huge selling point to bring recruits in for the team. Not to mention NIL opportunities with Bob Does Sports being a Miami guy. I can almost see a "Bobby Fairways Golf Center" materializing right before my eyes.

I’ll say this muchMiami is woefully
under equipped with women’s golf so I’d think it would be the same for men’s.
There’s a reason so many of the women’s golf team are foreigners.

Foreigners bring their own equipment?

Hahaha, no but they relish the opportunity to come to the US, especially Miami and don’t need or look for all the bells and whistles most other programs have. Nor are they accustomed to them.
My daughter was recruited by a very, very good SEC school and their facilities were
unreal.

Rad probably confuses his SC Country Club with the Miami golf facilities.

I try to avoid the use of "never" or "always". Conferences have ups and downs. Similar to divisions in the NFL. B1G took a hit this year by only having 3 teams being deemed playoff worthy.

$EC has the benefit of voter bias which had at least half their conference ranked every week of the season. Helps to explain why only 1 of 5 playoff teams made it to the semifinal. If they go yet a 4th straight year without a team in the final, voters may begin to lose that bias.

Miami will bring numbers wherever they go......as long as they continue to win. Just like everyone else.

You are right- for this particular discussion I will replace "always" with "forever"......eight of the top ten are SEC- and those two others are OSU and Michigan. Even with a year Indy had- they didn't sneak into the top ten. If you go 11-20, the SEC held five of those spots with the BIG having two of them. So doing the math- the SEC held 13 of the top 20 with the BIG having 4.

SEC fans in total- are much bigger fans of college football than the BIG fans. Which is why I would love Miami playing an SEC schedule.

Prior to this run I would’ve said our only chance is the big 10. But I just have this feeling SEC would be willing to play ball with us now.

Considering we’ve kicked their asses ever since Mario arrived, I’m not sure the SEC Simp schools want anything to do with us. Even in that God awful year 1 with Mario, we still outplay TEMU at their own stadium despite losing by a score. That was arguably the worst Miami team we’ve seen…ever.

I mean, I'd rather play a B12 or ACC schedule every year than a B1G or SEC schedule.

But as far as which conference secures our future? Only the SEC and the B1G are guaranteed to survive. There won't be a P4 or even P3 moving forward.. the B1G and SEC are already consolidating power and making decisions/plans without the ACC and Big12.
Are you suggesting there's a path for B12 to get on the same playing field as the P2 eventually? If so, what's that path that gets them an extra $30-$40mil per school at their next network deal in 2030?
Or are you ok being in a 2nd tier conference and bringing in significantly less per year and knowing we won't get the auto bids, won't get the same playoff payouts (already starting in 2026) and we'll just have an easier schedule and be treated more like a top dog in a 2nd tier conference?

The ACC and B12 have already been relegated to just 1 playoff team. And now the payouts will go down. We'd have to win the conference every year to make the playoffs.

Just trying to understand your rationale.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think we’d excel with an SEC/BIG schedule. Our brand of football creates more favorable matchups. Notre Dame for example. Now I know they’re not a BIG team but they’re built like one. They match up very poorly against the types of defensive players we recruit. Fast and athletic defensive lineman who blowup their slow developing run plays. Indiana didn’t play that kind of football. They wanted Fernando to get that ball out as quickly as possible. That’s not really how the majority of the BIG/SEC schools play ball.

Playing B12 teams scare me. We don’t do well playing teams who play shootout football. Unless maybe we had an offense like we did in 2024 which most years we probably look more like 2025 in terms of offense because that’s the offense Mario wants to run
