Right or wrong, I feel so many people didn’t like Miami is because we had a lot of kids from the “south Florida hood”. We stuck it to the white football establishment, and gave them the proverbial middle finger w our Swag etc. so at some point the establishment figured out they needed our players up in the areas where they wouldn’t want to make a wrong turn while driving. We had our Shapiro scandal etc and they swooped in with $$$ to lure kids into these areas. To me, it’s selling out to take the $$$ to play for those same people that despised them/us. But that’s just my perception… I’m not from the hood, and we were pretty spoiled growing up.
If I had been good enough to play at the U or take an SEC bag, I’d play at the U…too loyal not to.
