Our team is not built to compete with the SEC.
With our academic standards we'd be a perpetual Vanderbilt..

Honest question here, so please be honest in your responses. If you could press a button that would somehow put the Miami Hurricanes in the SEC as a permanent member going forward, would you press it? We're talking all sports here. Football, basketball, baseball, etc... This would mean a renewal of the annual series against Florida, since Miami would likely be placed in the East division of the SEC. It would also mean regular games against Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Just for the record, I would be in favor of this. I can imagine a dozen different upsides to such a move, but only a few downsides. If you would oppose such a move, what are the reasons?

If I could hit a button - we'd be independent!

Get major exposure - playing top teams around the country - and if we're winning - we're getting big paydays.

SEC teams only play eight conference games per year, if I recall correctly. So that means Miami could still play FSU annually, and keep part-time rivalries with programs like Notre Dame going as well.

So you're saying you'd rather turn that 7-6 record into a 4-9 record. Got it.
 
We apparently turned them down when we were still independent. We wanted a conference with a better academic reputation. This is back around the late 80s/90s. SEC ended up adding Arkansas/South Carolina in 1992 I think. Don’t think our BOT would want to join now either. I think the ACC as a whole has great potential. We’re fine where we are. Just wish we had the gator on our schedule on a consistent basis.

With SEC revenue, that might actually be a feasible project in the future. But I would hate to think that would be a deal breaker on its own right from the beginning.

Acc revenue has been comparable to the sec, with the sec network being the difference last year or 2. The acc network will even the playing field again.

Athletes are making into school with 2.3s and 2.4s. Tell me the last time an athlete from Dade County
failed to gain entrance into any institution because of SAT scores or grades, at this point in time the SAT is the biggest scam going -
if they're good enough to play they're getting in.

The downside being 2 loss a season, at least, and eliminated from the CFP contentions, no thank you. You realize we would be Tennessee/USCe at this moment if we were in the SEC

We can't win consistenly the worst division on the ACC, lets pump the breaks on going to the better division on FBS
