We want student-athletes who are great representatives of our great university. We want the sort of fellows who make us proud of UM and maximize the value of out degrees from UM. If given the choice between boisterous football players who draw attention to the university for the wrong reasons, or well-mannered football players who draw no attention to the university, my vote goes for the latter.
Speak for yourself. I had my degree before those boisterous football players you speak of and it wasn't worth a crap. After those players conquered college football my degree's value was raised exponentially. Before, you said you went to Miami and everyone went "oh". Afterward, you said Miami and they said "no ****!!! You went to the friggin U!!!" Unless your donations total has a third coma in it, keep your opinion to yourself because it does not count.
