Is Terry Porter still in the Big 12?The Big East is dead for Football, I don't think they even have a Football conference anymore, they still do for Basketball, but most of the Big East football teams went to the AAC.
I wouldn't wanna go to the SEC either, because for 1) UF would never sign off on it & 2) we'd never win there either lol.
The Big XII is really the only move that might work IMO (if we were to leave), they're a 10 team conference & if they added 2 more teams could have divisions & a conference championship game instead of playing a 9 game in-conference schedule.
Plus, with moving towards an uptempo high octane style Offense with Lashlee we'd be a much better fit playing in the Big XII. Then we could really open a pipeline into TX for recruiting too.
This is the part most fans will hate, but if Miami & UCF went to the Big XII that would be a win/win for all parties involved IMO. UCF would get the chance to play in P5 conference & throw they're hat in the playoff race instead of complaining every year how they are treated unfairly because they're G5 lol. Plus, with Heupel being an Oklahoma guy he's essentially transformed them into a Big XII style team with the fast paced offense they play.
Now, none of this would/will ever happen, I'm fully aware of that, so yall don't have to reply to me explaining why it won't, trust me I know. Lol.
But, if we were to leave the Big XII is the best place to go IMO.
Nope lol.
We'd become the new fall guy.
You know how Ole Miss gets in trouble every time Bama, LSU or UGA gets caught cheating, we'd become the new Ole Miss in that scenario.
Why you think Arkansas & Mizzou have been terrible ever since they joined the SEC, because they understood they were allowed in the conference to help the top dogs records look good, if either of them ever started trying to recruit or win some serious games they'd suddenly start catching all kinda heat from the NCAA.
The SEC Powers that be, have it set up so that only 2-3 teams will ever prosper in that conference & it's Bama, LSU or UGA, except for UGA their real purpose is to make Bama/LSU look good in the SEC championship game, they're never really going to win the conference lol.
The SEC would use us as whipping boys, just like the ACC does. We are the Washington Generals, and every ACC, or SEC, team we play are the Harlem Globetrotters.I would say Missouri has had more successs in the SEC than Miami has had in the ACC. They have actually won their division twice. They are also financially making out like bandits as well. Arkansas was pretty good when Petrino was running the show there.
I think in this day and age UF would have no issues with Miami coming in and being placed in the SEC West. UF would have nothing to lose by it. I know it won’t happen, but ****, how great would it be having that SEC West schedule every year. At least Miami would be losing to legit teams and not the Dukes and GA Techs of the world.
Plus, the SEC takes care of their member schools. I think the top cover Miami would gain would be superior to what they currently get.
It may be a dream, but it’s my dream.

Support this 100%. Even UCF joining the party.The Big East is dead for Football, I don't think they even have a Football conference anymore, they still do for Basketball, but most of the Big East football teams went to the AAC.

We had the SEC and Donna ****ed us.I’m not a “Miami should be an independent!” sheep, but I would leave this conference as soon as we had a better offer on the table. Sure we suck butt, but so does the rest of the league (minus 1 school), and what on earth have we gained by being here.
The 2013 basketball season of all things soured me the most on the Atlantic Country Club. Not a one of those Tobacco Road journalists put a pen to paper over the injustice of UM winning BOTH the regular season and tourney and not getting a 1 seed. They cared more about Duke losing a meaningless game on one of the greatest returns in CFB history. Why? Because to them we don’t belong. Never have, never will.
And they’re right. I’d love nothing more than to own this conference for a decade, but since that will never happen I’ll settle for helping to burn it to the ground.
