Pretty sure Duke is not only ranked higher than Miami in academics but have one of thee premier college basketball programs in America. They also have a solid Athletics dept in general, outside of football (although they have won the Coastal & have given us fits sans 2020).
Furthermore, no one is talking about ur degree so stay focus on the subject at hand. We’re talking about those who support the program, not ur college education.
1) You do realize that basketball requires far, FAR less resources than football, right? And that the extreme vast majority of schools that are good at football are NOT good at basketball, short of the ENORMOUS state schools, with all the money in the world? But, using Duke as an example.... I know Duke alumni. I guarantee you if the basketball program started slipping, they wouldn't be happy, but IN NO WAY would they be willing to sacrifice the strength of the university for the strength of the basketball program, while the fans, who don't do anything for Duke, ever, would be up in arms. Same thing here.
2) You absolutely are talking about my degree. Every fan who thinks football should be prioritized over academics, or criticizes "the administration" or the Trustees is talking directly about my degree. This is what limited resources means. It's a choice as to where the funding should go. End of story.
That's the point. Y'all think your say matters, at all, and it does not. And I'm not saying mine matters a ton either. But I have a seat at the table, and I understand how the University operates much, much better than any casual fan ever will.
You seem to not understand that without students/alumni there would not be a program. My college education is tied directly to its very existence.
