Max Kellerman- “college football is better when Miami’s good”

This was at the heart of the long investigation during the Golden years. They knew they didn't have much, but they also knew it helped teams recruit down here if Miami was going to get hammered. The perception was worse than the reality, and the NCAA really loved the bad optics for UM. It was obvious to anyone paying attention they were dragging their feet on purpose. Only one real reason to do so.
They were going to give us a four year bowl ban before they shot themselves in the foot. I do credit Shalala for putting the screws to them.
 
College football is better when Miami is good because we're not supposed to be there. So, when we're good, we're either the party crashers or the underdog. Its what America wants to see.

Disagree. Miami, is never considered the “underdog”. Miami is either down, or back/villain, but never truly an “underdog”. There’s a reason that teams — even bad ones — get up for Miami, and why “non fans” tune in.
