Dan Le Betard Show - Miami Scoop

It’s going to the entire program. That’s per frenk.

As much as I want the recruiting budget to increase, I also hope we get more off the field assistants. Nutritionists, S&C staff, chaperones lol, and so forth. Bring in the athletes and turn them into monsters

Also mentioned here.

Do any of the currently listed AD candidates fit that bill?

I dont know. Ask @JayCane20 , he could probably give you a good answer.

Which schools spend the most on college football? Where does Syracuse rank?

A look at which schools spend the most on college football and which spend the least.

Here’s an article from 2019, so I’m sure the figures have changed but I’m not doing an extensive google search to find updated numbers. Miami isn’t listed but if those numbers are true adding it to whatever Miami currently pays, would put them at or near the top.

"Talk about a smart investment. Alabama pours money into its football program like no other. The returns have been enormous."

Maybe UM is finally starting to get it.

THIS! We need to mimic Bama's strength and nutrition program. There is an opportunity for greater integration with UHealth (that would make the greater investment easier to swallow for some)

Also, I think we're underestimating how significant this NEW investment is. Of that $30M, only about $5M-$7M (added to what we already spend) is needed to hire a top-tier on-field staff. The rest can go to hiring an army of analysts (recruiting and game prep) and building out the strength + nutrition programs.

It wasn't making money for a long time and is what cost Donna her job. At one point it was losing $50-$75 million a year. The $400 million was only last fiscal year so if they are ready to pony up big money from the medical fund, they must be having another banner year in that department.

Several banner years, actually. In a row.

Yes, we overpaid and had some initial monetary heartburn. That was NOT what cost Donna her job. And if it was, then she should be rehired immediately.

What's up with the ****** d1ck?

EDIT:
Frenk's face is actually a perfect fit for that painting.
Herbie, not so much.

 

[NJshoreCane]

Did we just move up the food chain of desirable HC jobs?

 

[BostonCanes47]

Seriously though, where is this extra $20 - $30 million annually going to go? It’s my understanding the facilities outside the locker room aren’t bad and they plan on renovating it soon.

coaching salaries? 7 million more
More strength, conditioning, and Nutrition staff? 1 million?
Analyst and support staff? 1 million
Recruiting. 3 million.

That’s $12 million right there. At a minimum they will have an extra 8 to play with. I’m curious where that money is needed.

 

[PIPO]

@PIPO give it to us raw. What all have you heard bro.

“Oye, Lukieeee!! What’d I tell you, boi!!!”

“I am ready to go down Calle 8, breakout the Pitbull, my 1956 Chevy convertible, los cigaros, el Don Julio, las putas and and a little bit of that booger sugar.”

“Lukiieeeee - ax me the question, bro?!? Go ahead!! Give it to me…. Axx me the question……” - Is the U back?!?!

“YOU’RE COT **** RIGHT WE ARE BACK, BEECHEESSS!!!!!!!

 

[Fluffhead]

Purinton was Weinke’s roommate too, lol. I’d rather go the more experienced route but he has seen first hand how a top program does business. Spent a lot of time around him/same vicinity but didn’t really have many personal interactions with him.

My reservation with a guy like him isn't his experience or even going to FSU. It is the way that our AD's business model is so diametrically opposite to Alabama's, I am not sure the lessons learned there would apply here. They for sure have the big, old money boosters, but they rely on the size of their alumni network donating small amounts in volume. Miami needs to engage more alumni, but by nature it will always be a school that relies on large sums from fewer donors. I would prefer him over some other names (Toretta and whoever Le Batard is pushing), but he would not be my top choice over some others that have had to do more with less and have actually run a department.

Agree 1000%.

 

[Zbrod95]

OK so not quite as exciting but a good start.

He’s dumping that kind of money into football you don’t think a couple million is going to be dumped into recruiting? Which would give us a top tier budget?

 

[QuattroCane]

If true Manny is a dead man walking, if not it's still good to get that type of misinformation out there to quiet the naysayers

 

[Hurracanes]

Herbie read the script that Vilma wrote for him.

Or Bear wrote it.

@RVACane or @JD08 - Can you merge with the Mike Ryan thread?

Whomever the AD is, two things with respect to seating at the Rock.

1. Opposing fans tix need to be in the upper corner of the stadium. Lower bowl is BS.
2. Work something out with the Rock/Dolphins whomever it is to make certain you put season ticket packages in place to sell out the lower bowl. Ridiculous that more sit upper than lower…

No the article said it made 400 mill in each of the last 2 years. Btw i depise Shalala for what she did to football but her long term vision for Uhealth is what they are reaping now. Its a gold mine apparently
