Hypothetical If 2016 FSU Game is moved and the Stadium is not ready until November would U be okay with Stephen Ross making a naming donation ( lets say $7 Million dollars) to the Miami IPF fund as compensation? Since Ross brings in $4+ MM per season from UM's games at Sun Life it would in essence be a rent free season plus $3-$5MM out of pocket donation on his part. UM would also to have compensate season ticket holders for dropping a few home games.

Link to Stadium. Phase 2 construction delays running into the fall.

I think it is a good deal for everyone because UM gets another big donation for the IPF in addition to the secret naming donation that is supposedly close to being made public. An for Ross the benefit is Miami being able to put a better product on the field long term do to improved campus facilities. An when UM is winning more people attend home games.

how could you be ok with not playing FSU at home?

The UM tradition was built on playing anyone anytime anywhere and expecting to Win. So if we have to play FSU in Orlando or anywhere else I expect Miami to win!

You really are a tool.

Why am I a tool for presenting a viable solution to a pending crisis, and then explaining my position?

The fact that you're ok with playing FSU in Orlando because you expect to win anyplace, anytime and anywhere is tool thing to say. Do you even attend games?
 
[MENTION=908]Hurracanes[/MENTION] you must be related to UF AD Jeremy Foley because you seem scared to play tough games. An FYI Miami has played FSU close the last few games and this year we have the coaching and talent to beat them whether it is at a neutral site or at Home.

The biggest problem would be loss of revenue for six home games. That's almost crippling to the athletic department. In the worst case scenario, legal action would be the only choice.
 
I dont give a flying rats *** if we play FSU in the middle of the sahara desert where its hotter than two rats banging in a wool sock, long as we emerge victorious
