And half this place is clueless. But I digress.

That's in addition to the 12.5 million Momemtum2 campaign donation and the 500,000k for the baseball indoor practice facility. There's probably more than that, too. So no, his job security is better than Bill Belichick's.

did all the 0s we put up on offense burn out the old one?

That's a generous number

So far, I agree with every post on this thread.

I could see this as a new form of "sports tourism". Wanna take a few snaps at QB? Donate 10 million to your fav university. Feel like being the head coach? Sure. That'll cost a cool 25 million.

Since you posted this, more than 100 users on here that know they could coach better than Manny have started Go-Fund Me pages for their $25 million......

If we were smart as an administration/AD, we'd develop a strategy to dominate basketball and baseball. We will never compete for NC's again in football in my lifetime, so, why not go for an "excel in baseball and basketball" strategy that will nicely align w a private school, like Miami, academic strategy?

It's clear our administration and BOT is not going to commit to winning titles in football again any time soon, so, why not try the other two major sports where you have a fighting chance because of the numbers/$$'s needed? In business, you'd be a fool to pretend to go up against Bama as an upstart, which is what we are in football in modern times, i.e. take advantage of your competitive advantages such as S FL talent, climate, facilities, etc. to dominate the other two sports.

Is this an indirect evaluation of Gino’s performance? If only he’d donate the salary for a competent hitting coach.

 

[tcgrad1014]

Gino was hired with tenure from the beginning. Daddy dropping another mil and a half on a scoreboard doesn't even matter. This university is such an embarrassment. We lead the world in hiring unqualified coaches without so much as pretending to have a legitimate search.

Now we can see all the glorious sacrifice bunts in HD.

Only half?

Anyone know what the Ruiz-DiMare dynamic is like between the two families?

 

[SpikeUM]

While we all want everything fixed on day one, I think there are higher priorities for Rad; football, upgrading the AD, new basketball coach, et al.
