15 years of mediocrity has caused me to Stop payments on future donations. I had my financial advisors and business attorney draft a certified letter to 5 individuals at the University of Miami leadership. In the letters was account statements totaling over $600k invested into the program and school since I attended there in 1999.
We had scripted over 16 pages of statistical truths and decisions made since we made Donna “the troll” Shalala president of the university.
She turned the program from a hometime private University that gave under privledged kids a chance for a free top notch education into a private school only for the 1%.
We also drafted a proposition in which we would fully fund and finance to have an outside firm research and recruit a replacement Head Coach for 2020 if Richt failed to win the ACC, which we know statistically speaking, he has a 12.7% chance of that happening. This firm would include a group of 13 former Canes, each from different eras and backgrounds , who also signed the letter agreeing to work pro bono for the better of the program. These Canes would remain anonymous until they had selected their candidate.
We did NOT demand for anyone’s firing or dismissal as that is Busch league politics. We frankly made it known, without error or doubt, that the University has failed at progressing the football program and has not made decisions that took into account numerous basic football facts.

I 100% don’t think this will get us anywhere, no do I expect a response from their legal team or administrative. But I’m sick and tired of just *****ing and wanted to take steps to put my money where my mouth is.

I love this school but enough is enough.

My family (grandfather, uncle, and to a lesser extent my dad) informed the athletic dept to take their businesses name off of the banners and facilities and they will not be continuing their donations for 2019. Uncle played baseball at Miami years back and if he continues to give it will be directly to baseball. Grandfather is done all together. Combined... personal and corporate the 3 of them gave more than 50k annually. And as far as I know my uncles father in law gives around the same.. he’s a Golden cane so it has to be up there.. and he is also discontinuing donations.

I knew they weren’t the only ones going to stop. The snowball has to be adding up
 
I send my Publix 50 dollar holiday gift card to Blake James as a donation to get rid of this clown.
 
Ironically I just emailed the same type of letter, the only difference is I’ve donated north of 1 billion dollars. Give or take.

That's probably more "Heineken League" than "Busch League" - Cheers!
