Anyone explain what happened with that to me? I tend to stay out of the muck of the board and pop in and out of posts that aren't mine or D$, but I've seen reference to this a few times.

Back in 2017 when we were on our run, a poster by the name of Dan Sileo Jr, convinced 97% of this board that he was connected to the Patrick Surtain JR recruitment and that the kid was ours, basically. He really had these guys by their nuts. He blew his cover though one night shortly after the Notre Dame game by posting a picture of Surtain wearing a UM shirt or a jersey and claiming it was a recent picture that was sent to him. He was trying to prove himself further and claim the kid was legitimately interested but someone outed him and discovered that the pic was like 2 years old. I forgot the excuse he gave but that 97% dropped to like 87% and he had some bs story to keep enough people on the hook and still swore up and down that the kid was coming and that he knew the family etc. The kid committed to Bama and he was never seen again, lol. I’m sure he stuck around afterwards and got a good laugh out of what he had done. It was great, dude had stories for days and had a great imagination to pull all the strings for the gullible fvckers on this site.

Now this thread is a complete lie (but it generates traffic), that said, TCU's stadium seats 45k.

Although it's a pipe dream, it was discussed 6 years ago.
If UM didn't negotiate a buyout, they would still be on the hook for about 40 million. Hypothetically, lets say Ross played ball (maybe the county gives him tax breaks to make up or something) and knocked 10 mil off the buyout due to discounted cash flow. Now it's down to 30 million. Then UM agrees to play two of its expected highest attendance games at Hard Rock every year through 2032, so it knocks off another 4-6 million. In theory, UM might be able to get out of the lease for 20-25 million, and offset that with more tax relief from the city (which offered UM 200+ million to keep and renovate the Orange Bowl years ago). I don't believe it will happen, but the lease may not be as big an obstacle as it may initially appear.

Well not paying $4M annually saves us $120M over 30 years so I am sure we could eat $40M to do that. That said, we are never building a stadium.Although it's a pipe dream, it was discussed 6 years ago.

So you would go from sharing a large football stadium with a professional football franchise in a central location to sharing a small stadium with a soccer franchise near Miami airport? What crack den did that rumor come out of?
The only reason Miami should leave hard rock is because they built their own stadium.

Almost had me until it mentioned the new stadium.
I think we're contractually tied to Hard Rock until kingdom come.

FWIW, when the Beckham soccer stadium stuff came up a few years back, the plan was that for the big games like FSU and Notre Dame, UM would still play at Hard Rock. The rest of the season UM would play in the jointly owned football/soccer stadium.
