Tailgating by students no longer supported by UM

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Take the school provided transportation and STFU you bunch of entitled puzzies.

The school has a legal responsibility to itself and can’t coddle babies that don’t know how to handle their booze.

Students can still get to games the same way they always have.

Students can drink, if they choose to do so, like they always have. They just can’t do it anymore in a University sanctioned special area set aside just for them. Makes sense from a liability standpoint. It’s a grownup world with grownup rules, kiddies. Nobody wants to assume liability for your fūcked up and irresponsible behavior, nor should they have to.

Get your sorry asses to the game.

Don’t drink and drive.

Drink responsibly if you can’t handle your liquor or don’t drink at all.

Welcome to the real world, motherfūckers, where actions have consequences.

I get your general sentiment about responsibility but it seems like the school is eschewing theirs here- not even to the students but to the image/liability concerns they initially sought to protect.

Wasn't the idea of herding all the students together in separate lots designed TO keep tabs on them? What I bet happened is that they weren't satisfied with the police acting as drinking age monitors and now have decided just to wash their hands of the student lot idea. Think that's going to work out better in the liability/image column as kids just scatter across various lots and their binge drinking blends in even better?

Like I said, the school just needs to accept reality while also doing the best to cover their own asses. This seems way too shortsighted and hamfisted.

Pretty sure all this was run through University counsel and this is what they came up with.

If you have a better ideas, let the school know.

But sorry, not feeling it for entitled brats not getting their safe space to get blind drunk in. Which is what they’re are asking for.

Yeah this is it. This rule isn't going to stop the drinking/binge drinking. Its just going to make it worse for most other tailgaters, and actually its probably going to lead to more students getting wild. Students definitely kept it at least a little under control because there were constantly police riding around on bikes by all the tailgates. So a lot of students that were getting too wild often got detained.

Exactly, now the police have to patrol a larger area and need to look at everyone more closely. That ****es me off too. I support law enforcement (in a very general sense, please don't read more into this than intended), but don't need them sniffing up my as$ anymore than they already do.

Typical answer for this entitled generation. How about act like an adult, find your own way to and from the stadium, drink and have a blast but don't pass out in a Port-O-Potty before kickoff. It's called accountability.

Hire licensed bartenders and provide access to food and water? GTFOH

Has nothing to do with entitlement and everything to do with covering the university if one of these kids "finds their own way to and from the stadium" and plows into a family in a mini van drunk off their *** after parking/tailgating in a student/university reserved parking lot.

But yeah, **** on millennials for some odd reason.

Uber. Or should the school pay for that too?

Thats ******* stupid. Do you konw how much an Uber would cost to the stadium? Its a ******* 40min bus ride.

Yeah I know how much a ******* Uber costs to the stadium. Know how? Cause I live near campus and have taken an Uber when I want to go to a game and have a few drinks. Its called sacrifice **** face.

thats just stupid.
secondly why the **** should all students be expected to "sacrifice" and take a **** uber to the game?

You sound like one of those people that just hates fraternities for no real reason other than they have fun.

You sound like a baby that doesn’t have a clue how the real world works.

You’ll learn.

LOL - like University counsel should even give a shīt about how 75% of the campus “feels”. That’s not their job, to cater to entitled babies. Grow up.

 

[Classic]

This is such a lame, poorly evaluated decision by the administration.

Miami has always been obnoxious when it comes to balancing the student experience with student safety. They're fun sucking leeches who do little more than inconvenience the student or hinder the student experience all so that they can disclaim liability. They make little effort to improve things or address their concerns. Instead, they've always preferred just shutting things down.

Lame *** Miami administration at it again.

 

[g8rh8rMD]

I think you're confusing counsel and council. From my interpretation, dude means the lawyers that represent the University administration and Trustees. I think you mean the council of students and faculty that sort of "represent" the voice of the student body. In this case, the counsel matters and the council doesn't mean ****, but probably should come up with some sensible plan to approach the administration with a less draconian solution that addresses the concerns with less crappy consequences.

As a UM grad and current attorney, I highly doubt this has anything to do with the university's counsel. Actually, it could lead to a negligence suit if someone drives drunk and kills someone on the way to the game or something.

This is all about the school wanting a certain image.

The university has always tried to make it harder to be a normal college student. I guess that's part of the price you pay for going to UM instead of a large public school like UF, but it seems like it gets more ridiculous each year. College students drink, that's life. You don't have to promote it but you have to realize you're not going to stop it.

Even if you don't care about UM students, hopefully you realize this will hurt student attendance and therefore be had for Miami football.

Listen son, I was in an off-campus fraternity that played by no ones rules so don’t bring me that ****.

Sacrifices are part of life and come with responsibility. Learn that word. It’s gonna be a big part of your life when you get into the real world.

We, as adults - another word you’ll learn - make sacrifices all the time. Every day.

When we go to a game we choose to either a) drive and not drink excessively. That’s one form of sacrifice. Follow so far? Hope so.

Or

B) take an Uber and drink as much as you want. That will cost money. Another form of sacrifice.

What I don’t expect is for someone to drive my *** around for free just so I can get hammered. Understand?

So there’s your first lesson in how to be an adult. Let me know if you have any questions.

How?

 

[DTP]

I'm not going to pretend I know how the situation works for UM. I can only comment on my personal college experience where we had an off campus stadium also. When I attended UCF, we played home games in the citrus bowl. It was roughly 30-40 minute ride from campus. Not too bad. We had no bus service to drop us off and pick us back up. Somebody drove, we tailgated in the parking lot and somebody drove back after the game. Since most college students are under 21, we couldn't buy alcohol in the stadium so we had roughly 3-4 hours to sober up watching the game. How about having a little responsibility for yourself that if you're going to a football game, don't get blackout drunk? I mean the rest of the people at the stadium are expected to be able to handle that.

 

[Dingaan1828]

I’m in favor of killing all the drunks before kickoff. That would eliminate the problem.

 

[Gatorhater]

Okay, I'm way off the track. I was thinking the school should be providing the booze. We want loud nasty drunk crowd to make the VT hicks feel at home. At least that is how I remember THEIR home game crowds.

 

[CaneSince4Ever]

I don't condone underage drinking, but it's gonna happen. Agree with the students on this thread, the school needs to come up with a cost effective way to get these kids to and from the game safely. And I'm pretty sure those that are calling these kids "millenials" have kids in College, certainly you'd want it for your kids.

shut the **** up dude. talking about sacrifices and what being an adult is really about as if you're the ultimate moral authority on how college students should be acting.

THIS IS ******* COLLEGE.

**** man. You might be one of the only people I've ever heard who has taken a **** Uber to the game. You know why? cause that's ******* lame and ridiculously expensive, and just plain stupid.

Honestly this is whats going to happen: tailgaters are going to start complaining about student behavior a **** ton. The Frat buses actually won't really stop, they'll just continue to drop off students at the Walmart or whatever store that is by the stadium. the most important thing is this will fracture tailgates and spread them out. So instead of having 20 separate big ones in one designated section that is heavily patrolled by police, there will be 40 all across the stadium that the police essentially have no way of controlling (this means more students driving to set up different tailgates). Then those tailgates that are all over are going to be next to families with kids who are just trying to have fun and not deal with drunk students.

But tailgating and drinking are a part of student life. Not you, not the school, no one is going to change that. And expecting students to not drink and want to do crazy **** is ridiculous. That's what you do in college. They're literally just taking it out of a semi-controlled environment and pushing them to tailgate all over. Whats next, taking away the student section in the actual game?

I wouldn't assume that some of the people here are actually adults.

Having accountability for ones self is asking way to much of them.

Having to be over 21 was a huge slap when I was 20 and was at the Nebraska game. Kept thinking I could stroll down to the concourse whenever and grab myself a beer. Over here you can’t drink in the stands, there I get the chance and I’m under age

We are one of the few Universities that play in a building where you can get hard liquor and beer from the time the gates open until last call.

The school does not give a **** if you get hammered, where you get hammered or how your transport your hammered *** around SO LONG AS they are not liable for it.

This is all that this is about. Maybe something happened already and they are dealing with the consequences of it, we'll never know. But this is simply the school not wanting to have to sponsor lots for students and have them kill someone or die because they're 17-20 year olds drinking in the heat for 10-12 hours for a football game and then potentially get in a vehicle and drive back to campus.

Glad to see your a condescending faygot tho who thinks his opinions on what students should/shouldn't be doing is the only thing that matters.
