Firstly, let me say that I was a Managing Consultant for Fortune 500 companies in the past but I always took a different approach to considering whether a project was profitable or not. My time in the entertainment industry taught me that every successful project should tell an impactful story and I applied this knowledge to consulting. So I would always prepare a clear, concise, one-page treatment to any MC project just like a producer would; the difference being that I would present a spreadsheet instead of a synopsis of the script. No matter what, I would always let the numbers tell the story.
Thus I present several reasons as to why Miami should move to the AAC:
Miami is not a cultural fit for the ACC.
On the contrary:
The AAC misses Miami, the former Big East appreciated and celebrated Miami.

Thus I present several reasons as to why Miami should move to the AAC:
Miami is not a cultural fit for the ACC.
- The ACC is primarily a wannabe Ivy League conglomerate that emphasizes basketball.
- They only tolerate Miami for access to a primary market.
- The bulk of the ACC is located in or near the Carolinas.
- Therefore we will always get treated unfairly
- Whether it’s biased officiating or out right racism which is documentable.
- The ACCN is a clear example of of where the marketing priorities of the ACC lie, and it’s not UM.
- The only rapidly growing areas outside of Miami are the research triangle and Tallahassee.
- Both of these areas are negligible due to school loyalty and the meaningful population that impacts growth being transient students.
- The conference alignment is not set up correctly and the championship game is in Charlotte.
- Neither of these are favorable for Miami.
- The ACC is weaker now than its ever been on every level.
- The national perception of the ACC is just as bad or worse than the ACC.
- The ACC didn’t provide any advantages in football or basketball.
On the contrary:
The AAC misses Miami, the former Big East appreciated and celebrated Miami.
- Miami instantly legitimizes the AAC as a Power conference.
- UCF is consistently ranked and needs another high profile opponent.
- The AAC has has much better metropolitan locations.
- If you look at the states that produce the most NFL talent.
- The AAC provides a much better recruiting advantage and marketing exposure.
- Tampa, Orlando, Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, DMV, Philly, Ohio, Memphis, Ohio & Connecticut.
- Conference realignment could have UM playing in Florida or warm climates most of the season.
- AAC locations would increase fan support due to ease of accessibility and desirable locations.
- AAC have several primary markets in cities that are thriving and growing.
- We have built in rivals in the AAC.
- We could possibly play FSU, UF, UCF, USF, FIU, FAU & FAMU In one season. True state champs.
- Adding Miami would make the AAC better than the ACC in football and closer in basketball.

It’s always all about The U
