There is no commitment to winning. We have tried running things on a bargain basement budget for twenty years, living on the glories of the past and suckering in recruits who are not developed by inexperienced coaches. Miami could go 0-12, and the school does not care. Miami could go winless in basketball, and the school does not care. So just shut it down.

The entire point of sports is to try to compete and try to win championships , and like Jeff Lurias Marlins that is not what the University of Miami is in the business of doing anymore. So stop the charade, pull the plug, and let the players go elsewhere after this season. This twenty years has been a farce. Let the president of Miami take the funds that they would use and build another medical center.

I don't believe winless is acceptable to anyone, but they might willing to drop to the Sun Belt conference. The problem is the ACC money probably affords the payments to play at HRS. Can they afford such luxury in the Sun Belt? Maybe arrangements could be made to play at FAU or FIU's facility? They won't draw more than 20K anyway.

The athletic department takes that money and flushes it down the toilet with football, basketball, and baseball.
More like padding their bank accounts with ACC money.
The ACC should sue UM for impersonating a football team.
 
They should invest heavily in basketball. It's a better fit for the size and commitment of the university. Football is toast.

They’re currently getting a deal for basketball. Coach L can’t even field a full roster. They’re saving hundreds of thousands in open scholarships

Listen the school doesn't care about a winning football team. The school cares about the income stream from having a nationally branded college football team. So we can scream FIRE MANNY, FIRE BLAKE all we want. And maybe it happens? But what about the past twenty years makes you think the next HC won't be another CokerShannonGoldenRichtDiaz amalgamation? The University of Miami football program is the drunk guy at the bar trying to sooth the pain of the fact that his greatest days are behind him. I am just happy I was born in 70's and witnessed it all!

The basketball program has been a disgrace for about 4 years now. Coach L did great things for this program but the game has clearly passed him by. He should’ve been forced to retire but instead he’ll be allowed to continue to make us an ACC bottom feeder until he’s ready to leave.
 
Other than soccer, women's athletics are fine. It is the men's sports that are awful. They are the revenue sports. Thus, Hecht needs to be cleared out and James needs to be fired ASAP.
