Good for him. CMR's approach to that was another self-imposed competitive disadvantage.

I agree. Brandon Adams podcast also broke it down incredibly simply. I'll paraphrase, but essentially he said:

Imagine the NCAA started allowing teams to play with 12 men on the defensive side of the ball, but UGA says 'well, traditionally we've always played with 11, so we're going to keep doing that'. Kirby's not paid to be nice, and Turman went to Kirby indicating he wanted to play closer to home. Plenty of programs in the state of Florida not named Miami and UF. FSU, USF, UCF are just a few that have "name" programs and he'd be more likely to see the field at USF/UCF anyways.
