Meh.
Yes, the era of Miami dominating is long gone, but there's no reason Miami can't become a Coastal Division favorite in a few years, with a crack at winning the conference—which we saw two short years ago.
This is a weak-*** division and with some better talent, the Canes can at least do that. Getting there you're then potentially one win away from making the Playoffs as a conference champ.
All that to say, money talks and bullsh1t walks—and Miami doesn't have big money or deep-pocketed alum who write checks and demand excellence.
Georgia just dumped $200,000,000 into their program, AFTER year three with Smart and after a national title appearance and SEC Championship game loss a year later.
They also had 1,100 new alum who joined their Magill Society, pledging $25K minimum over a five-year span—which is $27,500,000 for football, driven by fan support.
Miami fans barely go to games and need a GoFundMe to raise $495 for a stupid "Our AD sucks" banner; the problem when most of your fans are not alum, so they don't commit with their wallets.
