Sitting in my couch and reflecting about how we handled business in college station. But one thought that lingers was Beck a good ROI. Quickly I can say No, since he has not been as attractive as Ward, and today Beck demonstrated that he will not be the magician that Ward was.
From the flip side, he did not lose us the game or was a negative impact on the totality of the game, but we did invest 4.5 million.
Ultimately, the $4.5 million question comes down to how you define value in the modern NIL era. If the goal was relevance, momentum, and signaling Miami’s willingness to spend like a national contender, the investment largely delivered. If the goal was immediate, unquestioned dominance, the verdict is far less clear.
In today’s college football landscape, big bets are unavoidable. Whether this one was truly “worth it” may not be fully answered until we see what Miami builds next—because the price tag wasn’t just for a quarterback, but for the direction of the program.
Anyways, excited and grateful for The U!
