Official "Our administration doesn't give a flying F about football"

[Jedi Master Cane]

You know this ain't going anywhere

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Maybe this should be the message on the billboard

Get to work.

Get to work.

The billboard will catch their attention

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Again, show me the day Miami fans financially support this program the way alumni from state schools break out the checkbooks in droves—and you'll see an administration forced to build a football factory and winner.

Georgia just dumped $200,000,000 into their program—year two after Kirby was hired; losing a national championship and an SEC title—as they're way to get a competitive advantage on Alabama. Recruiting budget was raised to $7M annually; most in the nation now — and much of this is being DRIVEN by alumni dollars.

They signed up, 1,100+ new members to their Magill Society in 2018; each member on the hook for AT LEAST $25K—totaling $27,500,000 minimum.

Miami barely has a stadium 2/3 full and has fans threatening to boycott games, while running GoFundMe campaigns to fly dumb banners.

Y'all keep arguing in circles here, but never address the fact that as a private school with a small alumni base and fan base mostly made up of people who didn't attend UM, you simply don't get the financial support and backing the way you do those who are the alum of a university.

Most fans follow the Canes like a pro sports franchise and just check out / put their interests elsewhere when the team is garbage—whereas alum of these football factories have power in money and monster donations that will sway the direction things go.

No, Miami isn't hat-in-hand and a poor program—but there is a massive difference between state schools with 40K undergrads every year and massive alumni basis that donate money, versus a private school with about 12K undergrads, in a diverse, metropolitan city / non-college town. Night and day.

The admin will "care" when more people stop shouting on message boards and actually do something with their wallets.

LOOK AT THIS ******* ******

Just a reminder.

we do not have the $$$$ that a top tier program has period. not enough $$$ for staff, not enough $$$$ to get player were
an 7,8 program..... period....

They have $$$$ they just don’t want to spend it.

 

[sdaly12]

They have $$$$ they just don’t want to spend it.

your most likely right, this last 15 years have been a real nightmare

 

[PhenomCane]

Winning championships is probably the 5th or 6th highest priority for the powers that be.

****tttttt.....you're giving them the benefit of the doubt putting it that high on the list.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Because they don't give a ****

Because they don't give a ****

Exactly, as long as those ACC checks keep getting deposited into the University accounts everything is copacetic.

Up you go

 

[RightSaidFred]

You can look at the University’s financials here:

https://apps.irs.gov/pub/epostcard/cor/590624458_201805_990_2019051616306059.pdf

The school earns nearly $4 billion per year in revenues.

Over half of that is from the hospital.

Looks like the school earns about $150 million per year from football and bball, but that’s an estimate because it’s not exactly split out.
