The Business of Football

[bornagaincane]

College football is a business. Otherwise how do you justify the enormous pay coaches receive and grandiose sports facilities and amenities on campuses? However, not so in the case of UM considering the retention of Baker and Rumph.

Making a business decision requires the firing of these non-productive coaches. They can’t coach and can’t recruit. Of what use is it to retain them except for charitable purposes?

UM football is being run as a charity, not as a business. Winning is a part of business. It remains to be seen if Manny can win. He’s formally on the clock.

If it is a charity, manny is the biggest beneficiary.

It's almost like the University of Miami is operating like a non-profit school.

It’s operating like an institution that is frivolous and/or hates football. Plenty of non-profits take their mission seriously and treat excellence as important, and strive for it even if they fall short.

And anyhow, if ‘non-profit’ in your theory, why pay manny what they pay him?

You obviously have no clue what it entails to run a business
