UM faculty are not football fans. UM administration SHOULD be. We have faculty members from Australia, Europe, that literally know nothing about college football and have NO interest. Buddy of mine crews on a 45 foot sailboat with two UM faculty members who are basically totally unaware of American college football.
Why is it that our fanbase is so incredibly unrealistic about how a competent University administration should view sports? I know, I know, our "Fans" most of whom see education as a unnecessary evil want Miami to be managed like some of these garbage state schools, but it isn't happening.
We should want administrators that are fine with letting a high end AD do their job, and supporting as needed. END OF DISCUSSION. Miami has a high end AD, let Rad and the donors do what needs to be done, and go from there. I want administrators on the academic side that can fundraise(Which Frenk isn't doing), that can attract world class faculty(Another thing Frenk isn't doing)*, I don't need them in the way of the AD, who is responsible for his department. Set clear expectations for what is acceptable and go from there. If you are making quality AD hires, you don't need to babysit. For the first time in two decades, Miami has an AD worth a crap. Let him do his job.
I couldn't care less if Administrators or Faculty are sports fans, their jobs are to educate and build a University where high achieving kids want to spend 4 years. That's their job, Rad's job is to build a world class athletic department that lives up to the ideals of the University of Miami, creating both winners on and off the field.
*As you can tell, I want Frenk gone, he's been a mediocre(at best) University President, and coming off of the Shalala tenure, where she was consistently raising BILLIONS for the University and extending our reach beyond South Florida.
